Virginia Giuffre Death As Important As The Pope For Change For Women

“The world has lost an amazing human being today.“

I have just read with tears in my eyes the article in the guardian by Benita Kovolos Virginia Giuffre Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew accuser dies aged 41" she's the Guardians australian journalist reporting on the suicide of sex trafficking victim Virginia Guiffre who accused Jeffrey Epstein and Prince Andrew in Western Australia on Friday 24th April at 9.50pm.

Josh Schiffer a lawyer who represents another of Jeffrey Epstein victims said of Virginia Giuffre to US cable network news nation

“The case wouldn’t have existed without the input, her cooperation, her bravery at the beginning, inspiring so many other people to come forward,”

All I could think was in spite of fighting so hard, shining that bright light on what is going on out there, so much so they are even making movies about it Blink Twice, 2024 starring Channing Tatum and Naomi Ackie. When I watched it I thought is this the Jeffrey Epstein Prince Andrew story Hollywood style.

And of course President Trump and his mar o lago resort also features in the story, the place Virginia worked as a gorgeous vivacious 17 years old and where she was recruited by Ghislane Maxwell currently serving a 20 years sentence for sex trafficking and the perpetrators, Andrew and Epstein one dead by suicide and the other completely in denial.

I don’t know what the answer is. There is nothing that can stop that drive in men mothers, grandmothers, great grandmothers NEVER talk about that makes them behave in this horrific way except a strong challenge from women, tough when the world opportunity is stacked against you without support from men, career, opportunity, business, independence. My grandmother who I was named after was at one time married. As a widow she was completely independent and whilst she never spoke negatively about the opposite sex I saw her keep them at arms length for the rest of her life despite having many admirers.

And then we get onto the issues like why all the cardinals at the Pope’s funeral are men. All the people in the Russian Ukrainian peace talks and the Israeli Palestine peace talks are men.

Pretty much all the delegates at the Cop climate conference are men and all the delegates at the G7 are men. We still have a gender pay gap even in the UK where we lead the way on equality and inclusion supposedly, women are still working in November and December for free because they are paid less than men across the board for the same work.

All women have experienced pain at the hands of men from being ghosted or lied to or belittled, insulted or demeaned at the good end of bad behaviour to being raped, attacked, sex trafficked, abused or killed at the other end of the spectrum all the while we are watching the fantasy of the wedding unfold before our very eyes glued to the TV for a format that puts men and women together without ever having laid eyes on each other in Married at First Sight where I truly think producers know the women want the fairytale and the men want someone else to help them get laid.

Wake up girls. He’s not the Prince. We’ve all been brainwashed by Disney. Virginia Giuffre is the real life Cinderella and the shoe did fit for her.

For Virginia her ordeal is over. I hope her family and every other woman on the planet can find strength in her story, her fight and her spirit.

They didn’t get away with it Virginia.
