Victims Refuse Silence (VRS) was a non-profit organization founded in 2015 by Virginia Giuffre, a prominent survivor of sex trafficking linked to Jeffrey Epstein, along with other Epstein survivors. The organization was established to combat human trafficking, particularly sex trafficking and child sex trafficking, by empowering victims to break their silence, raise public awareness about exploitation, and advocate for systemic change. VRS focused on providing support services to survivors, including emotional and legal resources, while campaigning against the networks that enable trafficking. Its mission emphasized survivor-led initiatives to educate the public, influence policy through legislative advocacy, and hold perpetrators accountable, drawing directly from the experiences of its founders to amplify voices often silenced by trauma and societal stigma. Throughout its operations, VRS engaged in various advocacy efforts, such as public campaigns, partnerships with other anti-trafficking groups, and media outreach to highlight the realities of sex trafficking. The organization collaborated with legal teams and policymakers to push for stronger protections for victims, harsher penalties for traffickers, and the reauthorization of key anti-trafficking laws like the Justice for Victims of Trafficking Act (JVTA). It also offered platforms for survivors to share their stories, fostering a community of resilience and activism. VRS's work was particularly tied to high-profile cases like Epstein's, using them to underscore broader issues of elite influence and institutional failures in addressing trafficking. In 2021, Victims Refuse Silence rebranded to Speak Out, Act, Reclaim (SOAR), signaling an evolution in its approach while maintaining its core commitment to survivor empowerment and anti-trafficking advocacy. The rebranding aimed to broaden its impact, incorporating more actionable strategies for prevention, recovery, and pushing for sex trafficking legislation. SOAR continues to operate as a survivor-centered advocacy organization dedicated to ending child sex trafficking, focusing on global awareness and support, though its roots remain deeply connected to the Epstein survivor network.
