In late April 2025, just days after Virginia Giuffre’s tragic suicide at age 41, her family discovered a poignant handwritten note among her personal journals at her Western Australian farmhouse. Shared publicly by her sister-in-law Amanda Roberts and brother Sky Roberts on social media, the message has become a rallying cry for sexual abuse survivors worldwide, embodying Giuffre’s unyielding spirit even in death.
The note reads: “Mothers, Fathers, Sisters, and Brothers need to show the battle lines are drawn, and stand together to fight for the future of victims. Is protesting the answer—I don’t know, but we’ve got to start somewhere.” It concludes with words of solidarity: “To all survivors and those protesting. We stand with you… and know the fight is not over!”
The family found the entry while sorting through Giuffre’s belongings, timed poignantly with news of a Washington, D.C., protest on Denim Day (April 30), where survivors marched for accountability. “We thought it was important that survivors know that she’s with you and her voice will not be silenced,” Sky Roberts posted. “Her wish is that we continue to fight.”
Giuffre, recruited at 16 by Ghislaine Maxwell while working at Mar-a-Lago, became Epstein’s most prominent accuser. She alleged trafficking to powerful men, including Prince Andrew (settled in 2022 without admission of liability). Founding Victims Refuse Silence and SOAR, she donated settlements to aid survivors, turning personal horror into advocacy.
Her death compounded by lifelong trauma—childhood abuse, Epstein’s exploitation, recent health scares, and personal struggles—left a void. Yet this note reaffirms her defiance. As her posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl (published October 2025) exposes brutal details, including assaults by unnamed elites, the message urges relentless pursuit of justice.
Amid ongoing Epstein file releases and scrutiny of enablers, Giuffre’s words draw clear battle lines: unite against predators shielded by power. Her family vows to honor her legacy through SOAR, ensuring silenced voices rise. In a world slow to believe victims, this final plea reminds us: the fight endures, battle lines firm, justice demanded relentlessly.
