Virginia Giuffre

Pred rokmi, keď sa učiteľ opýtal jedného z našich detí, čím sa živí jeho mama, s Robbiem sme dali hlavy dokopy a rozhodli sme sa, že pravda je príliš komplikovaná, a preto by naše deti mali jednoducho odpovedať: „Moja mama bojuje so zloduchmi.“ Odvtedy sa nejeden učiteľ mylne domnieval, že som policajtka. Nie som policajtka a nikdy som o sebe netvrdila ani to, že som anjel. No dúfam, že som vykonala niečo dobré. Moji mocní nepriatelia sa ma snažili umlčať, vyhrážali sa mi, že ma privedú na mizinu, a dokonca, že ma dajú zabiť. Neprestala som hovoriť. Keď som bola sexuálnou otrokyňou, nemala som na nič vplyv. Sľúbila som si, že už nikdy nebudem v situácii, v ktorej by som „nemala na nič vplyv“. VIRGINIA ROBERTS GIUFFRE (1983–2025) bola aktivistkou a obhajkyňou obetí obchodovania so sexom. Žila v Austrálii so svojou rodinou.

Daughter. Prisoner. Survivor. Warrior. Nobody’s Girl ... This is Virginia Roberts Giuffre’s last word. In 2011, Virginia Roberts Giuffre hit the headlines as Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s most outspoken victim: the woman whose decision to speak out helped send both serial abusers to prison and whose photograph with Prince Andrew catalyzed his fall from grace. But first and foremost, she became known as a voice of courage and resilience for women everywhere. This is her story, in her own words. A story that has never been told in full before now. It demonstrates with extraordinary power that victims are made, not born. And that once you come to truly understand the horrifying impact of abuse, you will never again question why a victim stays, or returns over and over again. In April 2025, Giuffre took her own life. She left behind a memoir written in the years preceding her death and stated unequivocally that she wanted it published. This is the powerful story of an ordinary girl who would grow up to confront adversity and trauma of the darkest form, yet found the strength to move forwards, reclaim her voice and shine a light on evil – advocating for others and fighting for a safer, fairer world. Nobody’s Girl is a remarkable recounting of one woman’s fortitude in the face of depravity and despair, and the legacy she leaves behind.
