Many people have asked what they can do to help support victims—both of Jeffrey Epstein and his associates as well as of sexual assault in general. Two nonprofit organizations that Brittany and I are affiliated with are working toward this goal.
Victims Refuse Silence is the organization founded by Virginia Roberts in 2014. It is a nonprofit organization designed to help survivors break the silence associated with sexual abuse all around the world.
More information can be found at the organization’s website, https://www.victimsrefusesilence.org/ or on its Facebook page, https://www.facebook.com/victimsrefusesilence/.
Stand with Epstein Victims is the nonprofit that Brittany and I founded in 2019 to raise money to help victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Jeffrey Epstein spent many years victimizing young women who have spent their lives recovering from his abuse. During those same years, institutions of higher education and research accepted financial donations from Mr. Epstein despite his involvement in publicly known sexually abusive conduct. We started Stand with Epstein Victims to provide those institutions and individuals who accepted such donations a nonprofit organization that will make sure the funds are used exclusively to make a difference in the lives of Epstein’s many victims. Recognizing the great need for financial assistance, we are now accepting donations from the public in general. In order to ensure a fair and transparent distribution of funds received, an independent volunteer oversight committee will equally divide all proceeds among confirmed victims of Jeffrey Epstein.
More information can be found at www.StandWithEpsteinVictims.com where donations can also be made.
Additionally, we’d like to call attention to two incredible organizations that victims of sexual violence can turn to at any time.
RAINN (Rape, Abuse & Incest National Network) is the nation’s largest antisexual violence organization. RAINN created and operates the National Sexual Assault Hotline, which can be reached by phone at 800.656.HOPE (4673), or through a confidential online chat system at https://www.rainn.org/get-help.
The National Human Trafficking Hotline connects victims and survivors of sex and labor trafficking with services and support to get help and stay safe. The hotline can be reached at 1-888-373-7888, by text at 233733, or through a confidential online chat system at https://humantraffickinghotline.org/chat.
