The silence after Epstein Files is a global feminist defeat

The latest protest by feminist group Femen is just another statement in a long line of hollow efforts that will make headlines for a day or two, but will soon be forgotten.

A group of women in Paris recently protested the lacklustre attitude of authorities in investigating those named in the Epstein Files. Videos from the Sunday protest was the first thing I saw when I woke up yesterday. What can one say that hasn’t already been said by those far more eloquent?

The infamous Epstein Files have been available for public consumption for some time now. They have been scrutinised, critiqued, ridiculed, and bulldozed over by the crisis in Iran (Thanks to Mr Trump), but a collective groan of disappointment remains etched for many of us around the globe.

And it is now starting to fester into resentment toward institutional complicity, denial, and inaction. If world governments are capable of waging war, they are equally capable of holding accountable those accused in the Epstein case.
