Though Virginia Giuffre tragically took her own life in April 2025, her spirit endures powerfully among Epstein survivors. In November 2025, as Congress overwhelmingly passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, fellow survivor Annie Farmer emphasized Giuffre’s enduring presence. “Virginia was with us,” Farmer declared, her words capturing the unbreakable bond uniting victims in their quest for justice.
Farmer, abused by Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell at age 16 in 1996, has long advocated alongside Giuffre. The two shared a deep connection, both testifying in legal proceedings and pushing for accountability. Giuffre’s posthumous memoir, Nobody’s Girl, published in October 2025, exposed harrowing details of her trafficking and assaults, inspiring survivors worldwide. Farmer, wearing a butterfly pin—a symbol Giuffre chose for post-traumatic growth—honored her during Capitol Hill events. “Virginia believed you could emerge stronger, with so much to give,” Farmer told CNN.
On November 18, 2025, survivors gathered in Washington, adorned with colorful butterfly brooches gifted in Giuffre’s memory. As the House voted 427-1 to release files, Farmer paid tribute amid a vigil for all victims. “Her presence could be felt everywhere,” reports noted. The Senate swiftly followed, marking a triumph Giuffre fought for until her final days.
Farmer’s sister Maria, who reported Epstein in 1996 (vindicated by December 2025 file releases), echoed this unity. Yet partial disclosures—with heavy redactions—frustrated many, underscoring ongoing battles. Farmer affirmed the movement’s resilience: “We have power together.”
Giuffre’s legacy—founding advocacy groups, settling claims against Prince Andrew (2022), and amplifying silenced voices—fuels this collective strength. Even absent, she stands with survivors, reminding us that unity transforms trauma into unstoppable demands for truth and reform.
