Fabiola Andrea Campillai Rojas (born May 17, 1983) is a Chilean Senator known for losing her sight in a case of police brutality in the 2019 Chilean protests.
Before entering politics, Campillai worked in various occupations and was social leader. Since 2022, she has served as an independent member of the Senate of Chile, representing the Metropolitan Region, supported by social movements and victims' groups.
In 2019, she became a national symbol of the victims of police violence during the social protests, after losing her sight and sense of smell and taste when she was struck in the face by a tear-gas canister fired by police while on her way to work.
