Abstract

The article focuses on the broader societal and structural failures revealed by the Jeffrey Epstein scandal, emphasizing that Epstein was a symptom of entrenched power dynamics rather than an isolated "monster." It argues that sexual and gender-based violence is systemic, driven by unequal power relations and normalized in many societies, and that addressing such violence requires comprehensive, evidence-based prevention strategies. The piece highlights the importance of shifting cultural norms through education, engaging men and boys in accountability, and implementing institutional safeguards across sectors to prevent abuse before it occurs. Ultimately, it calls for sustained political will, coordinated action, and investment in solutions that dismantle the power structures enabling sexual exploitation. [Extracted from the article]
