Virginia Giuffre penned a passionate call to arms for sexual assault survivors shortly before her death, her family has revealed.
Ms Giuffre’s sister-in-law Amanda Roberts, who is married to the Jeffrey Epstein survivor’s brother Sky, posted a copy of the letter to Facebook.
The family believe Ms Giuffre, 41, intended to share the words with sexual assault survivors taking part in a rally opposite the White House today (Thursday AEST).
One version of the note being circulated shows the partially obscured first line which reads: “We are not going to go away.”
“Mothers, fathers, sisters and brothers need to show the battlelines are drawn and we stand together to fight for the future of victims,” Ms Giuffre’s letter continues.
“Is protesting the answer? I don’t know, but we’ve got to start somewhere.”
Ms Roberts accompanied the post with a note of her own.
“Hello world. We found a handwritten note that our sister Virginia wrote,” Ms Roberts wrote on Facebook.
“I think it’s important that the survivors know that she’s with you and her voice will not be silenced. I know that it’s so important, and her wish is that we continue to fight.”
Ms Giuffre died last Friday at a remote farmhouse in Western Australia.
She was the most prominent and outspoken victim of wealthy pedophile Jeffrey Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell and her testimony was considered instrumental in bringing them to justice.
For several years, Ms Giuffre had alleged one of the men Epstein and Maxwell trafficked to her to was Prince Andrew, a claim he has vehemently denied. He has never been arrested or charged.
She alleged she was forced to have sex with him on several occasions in London, New York and on Epstein’s private island in the Caribbean when she was 17.
In 2022, Prince Andrew, according to British media reports, paid £12 million (AU$25 million) to settle a civil suit brought by Ms Giuffre.
