from Chanelle Gallant & Shannon Perez-Darby:

"The exclusive fixation on revealing the Epstein list is a red herring. It reinforces a fantasy that we can stop child sexual abuse by punishing individual abusers, while leaving the structures that facilitated and enabled the abuse completely intact. This diverts attention away from the structural sources of children and young people’s vulnerability such as poverty and family policing. What the rich won’t say is that one of the most impactful interventions in a survivor’s life is not calling the police — it’s redistributed wealth, and more broadly, economic and housing security for everyone."
