\n

In September 2025, 15 survivors of sexual abuse by the late Jeffrey Epstein\u2014many of whom had never met or spoken out publicly before\u2014gathered for a rally and press conference in front of the U.S. Capitol.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Attorney and anti-trafficking advocate Rachel Foster \u201989, who helped organize the rally, had promised them one thing above all: \u201cWe will not leave your side.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foster is the president and co-founder of World Without Exploitation<\/a>, the nation\u2019s largest anti-sex-trafficking coalition, with nearly 200 member organizations.<\/p>\n<\/div>

\"Rachel<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n

Over the past year, she and her organization have worked with Epstein survivors on policy advocacy, Congressional testimony, and public awareness campaigns tied to one of the world\u2019s most high-profile sexual exploitation cases.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe promised we\u2019d be there till the end,\u201d says the Human Ecology alum, \u201cand we have been with them every step of the way since.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In April 2026\u2014in recognition of the organization\u2019s efforts in the Epstein case and beyond\u2014Foster and co-founder Lauren Hersh were named<\/a> to Time<\/em> magazine\u2019s annual list of the world\u2019s 100 most influential people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWorld Without Exploitation \u2026 has lifted the voices of the survivors and built a sisterhood that supports survivors and showcases their courage, strength, and tenacity,\u201d U.S. Rep. Pramila Jayapal writes in the Time<\/em> tribute, adding:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTaken together, this network continues to expose the depravity of what these women endured, and to demand accountability from a society that has closed its eyes to the horrors for far too long.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As Foster explains, World Without Exploitation does not directly provide services\u2014though many of its member organizations do, offering safe housing, counseling, medical care, and legal support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The group instead focuses much of its energy on shaping public opinion and advocating for state and federal anti-trafficking legislation, whose content is informed by the survivors themselves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Among its victories is the federal Trafficking Survivors Relief Act<\/a>; signed into law in January 2026, it allows survivors to clear their records of crimes\u2014for example, prostitution or drug offenses\u2014committed while being trafficked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The organization, Foster says, centers the experiences of people who have been trafficked or exploited\u2014putting them at the forefront of its efforts, and even offering training for those interested in helping fellow survivors by becoming social or legal advocates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cVictims have often had some interaction with the foster care system or have a history of childhood sexual abuse, poverty, or substance use disorders in their family\u2014and there are people who are more than willing to prey on these vulnerabilities,\u201d she observes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t believe that we can have real gender equality and safety for all people if a segment of the population is seen as disposable and purchasable.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Foster has long been drawn to public service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

During her time as a human development and family studies major on the Hill, she worked with a local center for victims of domestic and sexual violence and with Cornell\u2019s Empathy, Assistance, and Referral Services<\/a>, helping connect students with peer mentoring and support resources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After graduating from Brooklyn Law School in 1994, she spent 15 years at a nonprofit that provides free legal services to clients in financial need.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She co-founded World Without Exploitation in 2016 after having worked with trafficking survivors over the course of her career, including serving as a client advocate at an NYC nonprofit that aids victims of gender violence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over the years, she says, she\u2019d encountered dozens of anti-trafficking organizations operating largely in isolation\u2014overworked, underfunded, and lacking the connections to coordinate broader policy efforts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Rachel

She\u2019d also seen a vital need to empower survivors by giving them central roles in efforts to combat trafficking and help victims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe knew it was important to bring survivor leadership and the organizations together,\u201d she says, \u201cto have a central nervous system where we could support and amplify their work while elevating policy issues.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That survivor-centered approach became especially visible during the organization\u2019s work in the Epstein case.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After news broke that imprisoned Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell could potentially receive a pardon, a victim of the pair\u2019s abuse reached out to Foster and her team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

World Without Exploitation met with members of Congress, helped draft legislation, and created public service announcements featuring survivors that garnered some 200 million views on social media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Their efforts contributed to passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act<\/a>, which mandated the release of more than 3.5 million documents.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEach of us ought to do something significant enough to create a safer, more just world,\u201d Foster says. \u201cOur ethos is that courage is contagious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
