Her personal slogan that she always advocated was, "Suicide is NOT the solution."
Days before her death, one of the last messages posted by Sana on her Facebook page was, "While I was on my ride and studying about suicide statistics, I had realized that the ratio of men committing suicide is three times more when compared to women...Gender equality cannot be attained by placing women over men. It's time to take EQUALITY literally."
