Voices for Justice - Sex Industry Survivors
About the Executive Director
A former technical writer and corporate communications manager in the high-tech industry for over fifteen years, Anne Bissell is the first author/activist and sex industry survivor to bring out the connections between childhood sexual exploitation, pornography, domestic prostitution and international trafficking. "All of these are part of a continuum of sexual crimes that involve turning an actual person into a thing, a commodity. That which becomes a commodity is eventually disposable." Bissell, a prostituted teen and survivor of horrific sexual abuse, understands at a deep level how the sex industry collaborates to enslave both the participants and the customers. The founder of Sex Industry Survivors Anonymous (SISA), and the executive director of the nonprofit Voices for Justice, Bissell is also the author of the autobiographical book, Memoirs of a Sex Industry Survivor. The book, and the Sex Industry Survivors Anonymous groups, is like acid tossed upon the glamour associated with the sex industry. There are now Sex Industry Survivors meetings going all over the United States, and some are being formed in Canada and Russia. In cities such as Detroit, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Houston, there are twenty affiliations between SISA and the Department of Health and Human Services Rescue and Restore Campaign to end sexual trafficking.

Some of her media appearances include: Dr Phil, Current Affair, Rita Cosby the Big Story, Fox News in Milwaukee, Fox News in Toledo Ohio, over 25 major talk radio shows around the country, and has appeared in The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the Ventura Star, and The Globe.

I watch the colorful leaves as they dance the autumn breeze, seemingly unaware of the up and coming freeze. They seem so happy and so content as they hang out with the other trees and their own beautiful leaves. I wonder if they are looking back at me, and if so, what do you think they see?
They seem so alive, so passive, yet so free, not concerned about tomorrow, or their life's destiny. Soon their branches will release them, floating away into the air, not knowing the fate that awaits them, leaving them lonely, cold, and feeling really scared. Now that the branches are alone, cold, and essentially bare, with seemingly nothing left for them to share. I come back to this place quite often, letting them know how much I still care….

Listen to the Exhortation of the Dawn! Look to this Day! For it is Life, the very Life of Life. In its brief course lie all the Verities and Realities of your Existence. The Bliss of Growth, The Glory of Action, The Splendor of Beauty; For Yesterday is but a Dream, And To-morrow is only a Vision; But To-day well lived makes Every Yesterday a Dream of Happiness, And every Tomorrow a Vision of Hope. Look well therefore to this Day! Such is the Salutation of the Dawn! ~Kalidasa
Wishing you a wonderful weekend. Much Love & Light, ~Anne~
