Epstein survivors come together to ask Congress to release files as they share harrowing images

Women who have survived abuse from Jeffrey Epstein have come together to call people to action and put pressure on the government.

Several women appeared in a new public service announcement produced by the World Without Exploitation organization.

The video has begun spreading on social media and has called for the public to contact their local politicians about the importance of releasing information tied to Epstein, his sex trafficking empire and those implicated in it.

This comes after a recent release by the lawmakers on the House Oversight and Reform Committee showcasing emails Epstein was sending before his eventual suicide, while in police custody, in 2019.

While president Donald Trump was mentioned in these emails by name, he has repeatedly denied any involvement in Epstein’s crimes.

The women in the video each repeated the same sentences and are seen visibly upset, reflecting on their experiences.

Each of them said: "I suffered so much pain," before revealing the ages at which they met Epstein, ranging from 14 years old to 17 years old.

Each of the women holds up an image of themselves at these ages when they met the prolific and disgraced financier.

The video closed with one of the women saying: “There are about a thousand of us.

“It’s time to bring the secrets out of the shadows. It is time to shine a light into the darkness.”

The video had a final message taking issue with the lack of clarity from the American government, arguing there had been ‘five administrations and we are still in the dark’.

It then called on viewers to call their congress members and demand the release of all the Epstein files.

Epstein survivor Annie Farmer, whose sister Maria Farmer was the first woman to file a criminal complaint against Epstein in 1996, spoke to NBC News over the weekend about this call to action.

Farmer insisted that this was not a political issue and that it was important for people to remember that these were real people who were impacted.

She said: “Please remember that these are crimes that were committed against real humans, real individuals. This is not a political issue.

“This, this has been going on for decades. My sister Maria Farmer reported this under the Clinton’s administration, right?

“There have been mistakes that were made in this case under the Bush administration. So many things have happened over the decades that were law enforcement failures in this case.

“This is not partisan. We’re asking for you to stand with us now to release all of the files.”
