About This Event
Speaker: Dani Bensky Dani Bensky is a survivor, activist, and advocate for victims of sexual trafficking, child exploitation, and related crimes. She is a direct survivor of Jeffrey Epstein's network — the largest known sex trafficking ring in U.S. history. Drawing on her firsthand experience navigating the failures of the legal system, Dani is a leading voice for systemic reform, most notably championing Virginia's Law, which would eliminate statutes of limitations in civil sexual abuse cases. She has spoken on CNN, CBS, MSNBC, and other major networks, and currently partners with World Without Exploitation to advance global policy rooted in social justice and survivor engagement. A former competitive ballet dancer, Dani has reclaimed movement as a tool for healing, working today as a choreographer and youth instructor. Her message is one of resilience and accountability, shifting shame onto the perpetrators and power to the survivors.
