The family of Virginia Giuffre, a victim of sex trafficking, has promised to persist in her quest for justice, even though their fundraising efforts have not generated significant funds.

Giuffre, 41, took her own life on April 25 at her farmhouse in Neergabby, about an hour north of Perth.

She was one of the most prominent victims of paedophile Jeffrey Epstein, and claimed she was trafficked for sex at 17, including to Prince Andrew.

The Duke of York denied the claims but reached an out-of-court settlement with Giuffre in 2022 for an undisclosed sum, reportedly about $16million.

Now her brothers Sky and Danny have launched a ‘platform of safety and support’ as they continue their sister’s legacy.

They conveyed via an Instagram post on a newly launched page, @virginias_voice, “As Virginia’s family, we bear the burden of sorrow each day. During this process, we have understood that this loss extends beyond us and represents a devastating loss for the entire survivor community.

Our aim is to bridge this gap and establish a platform of safety and support for our sister’s voice, as well as for survivors everywhere! Join us in our pursuit of justice and healing.”

The family also added the hashtags #jeffreyepstein and #ghislanemaxwell.

The GoFundMe has only raised $1,235 USD of the $15,000 target.

Ghislaine Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in recruiting and trafficking minors for sex, has asked the US Supreme Court to overturn her conviction and is reportedly seeking a pardon from Donald Trump – something Giuffre’s family have urged the US President to reject.

Giuffre’s family also said it was ‘shocking’ to hear Trump say that Epstein had poached her from the Mar-a-Lago club, where she worked at the spa in 2000.

The family said Trump’s comment raised questions about whether he was aware of Epstein’s sexual abuse at the time.

‘The government and the president should never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency,’ the family said in a statement.

‘Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster who deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life for the extraordinary violence and abuse she put not just our sister Virginia through, but many other survivors, who may number in the thousands.’

While it is unclear how the new Virginia’s Voice platform will specifically help survivors, it comes four months after the family launched a public fundraiser in Giuffre’s memory.

At the time, the family explained they needed donations to build a public memorial dedicated to Giuffre’s memory, despite her multi-million dollar estate. 

Giuffre’s sister-in-law, Amanda Roberts, revealed that Giuffre’s remaining money and property, including the family’s $1.9million beach mansion and $1.3million farm, would take ‘years’ to divide in a drawn-out legal process.

So far that GoFundMe has only raised $1,235 USD of the $15,000 target.

‘Though our family are experiencing an immeasurable sense of grief, we know that this will make us stronger,’ it read.

‘That is what Virginia would have wanted. With that, we think it is imperative that we find a way to leave her mark of legacy.

‘Virginia, through her fight and testimony, was able to amass settlements, but unfortunately, through this tragedy, as many of you may know, funds and estates can take years to settle.

‘While her estate is being settled in Australia, her family in America is dedicated to memorialising and celebrating her spirit.

‘It is our intention with this fund that we create a public memorial not just for family but for survivors and supporters from all over to visit and share space with Virginia.

‘She deserves to have a permanent mark in this world that demonstrates her lasting impact.’

The family also thanked supporters. 

An instagram page Virginia’s Voice has been launched 

‘First and foremost, thank you for the outpouring of love and support for our beloved Virginia,’ the appeal added.

‘We know Virginia was not just a bright light to us, but to many. The lives she touched, the strength, and the fight she has given us will live with us always.’

They also pledged to continue Giuffre’s legacy in fighting for stronger laws to protect victims of sexual abuse and prevent culprits from escaping justice.

The family vowed to take on her mission ‘with all our heart and soul’.
