Back about 2005, I got a call from the Dr. Phil show's producers.  They were asking me to make plane arrangements to come be interviewed on the show.  The producer is acting like I've already agreed to be on the show.  I have never spoken to her before yet she's asking me what airline I want to arrive on.  I ask her what's going on and she tells me she was talking to me, lost my phone #, and then went online to get it and is now talking to me.  I tell her she has not been talking to me and ask her to please locate the phone number of who she has been speaking to.  She comes back on the line to tell me "oh here's the number". I repeated "you are talking to Jody Williams of Sex Workers Anonymous?"  She said "yes".  I told her to hang on while I called that # from my other phone.  Of course no one answered.  I then "google'd" the phone number to be taken to a site that was a mirror identical to my site only the name was sli

LETTER TO THE OFFICE OF VICTIM ASSISTANCE

Can someone explain to me why our program was not included in this report   https://www.justice.gov/lair/file/829306/download    being that we've been providing legal assistance for our members for THIRTY YEARS NOW?   All over the United States, male and female, with many different forms of trafficking - we've been providing them with legal help with their (1) criminal cases, (2) family law issues such as divorce from their pimp, child custody issues when the pimp is involved, restraining orders against the pimp, etc., (3) issues that come up with recovery such as fighting an eviction, repairing their credit, and (4) assistance with legal forms such as applying for citizenship, disability or even student loans for school. You clearly have us on your mailing list as we received the final report - so please can someone explain to me why we were not included in this process yet again?  Once again, I find this the equivalent of preparing a report on alcoholics whi

First, let me start off by saying I look "white" but I'm not.  I have native American and African American blood in me.  My daughter is 1/4 Puerto Rican.  So we are not a "white" family.   The son of the plantation owner ran off with one of the freed slaves, and that's part of my bloodline.  They had to go to another state because it was illegal to marry at that time in Arkansas where the plantation was.  So I have a dog in this race. The African American race.  I watched Beyonce's and I did not find it "positive" or "supportive" of the African American race.  Anita Hill was an amazing woman.  After she came forward against Clarence Thomas, more women than ever started speaking up about sexual harassment.  I remember the change in the workplace.  I remember the way women were treated in the workforce completely change after the hearings.  This was an educated woman who changed the world and she was African American. I've s

LETTER TO PHYLLIS CHESTER

Phyllis http://www.phyllis-chesler.com/contact.php  - I wanted to write you to thank you once again for the article you wrote about year ages ago.  Honestly, I wanted to apologize also.  I hesitated at first to do the interview at the time you contacted me because frankly I felt like not that many potential members might see the piece. I've always tried to limit our media and outreach work to sources where I thought we would reach potential members - not to become a Samoly Mam figure.  But my "gut" told me to move forward with the interview any way and now years later I've become even more grateful on a whole other level. I haven't really kept you updated - but the trafficking movement i started back in 1984 was "hijacked" not just in my opinion, but also the opinion of the author of the Trafficking Act of 2000 Michael Horowitz.  It got hijacked in 2004 by the faith based community if you read the revisions of the TVRA of 2004 is when all the problems s

LETTER TO GLAMOUR MAGAZINE

Dear Glamour: In response to the "No Such Thing" campaign, the term "prostitute" while sex for money is still illegal in this country is STILL a legal term.  Please allow me to introduce myself.  I'm the founder of this very movement with respect to sex trafficking.  Please check the news clips at www.hightechmadam.com  The news clip for 1984 about my arrest where it says I was "operating  brothel" is not the story.  Yes I had a warehouse next to the police station that was equipped with very high tech security - but the reason for that is because it was the first safe house for adult trafficking  victims in the USA.  I had put a woman in the warehouse because her pimp had broken her arm and nose as well as blacked both her eyes.  Angry, he tipped off the cops that there was a "brothel" operating.  When the police arrived, yes the woman was  wearing her PJ's because it was midnight and she was sleeping.  She also had the arm cast on and

LETTER TO OFFICE OF REFUGEE RESETTLEMENT

---------- Forwarded message ---------- From:  Jody Williams   <msjodywilliams@gmail.com> Date: Sat, Nov 28, 2015 at 12:51 AM Subject: SEX TRAFFICKING To: kenneth.tota@acf.hhs.gov Dear Kenneth: We knew this was coming  http://latino.foxnews. com/latino/politics/2015/11/ 25/federal-officials-placed- young-migrants-with-convicted- criminals-senators-say/  the minute we were shut out of the system entirely a few years ago.  We found anyone working within the human trafficking arena reporting to us they were told they would be fired if they so much as spoke to us, let alone told any victims about our program Sex Workers Anonymous (formerly Prostitutes Anonymous). A program which by the way founded this movement itself.  Those who fought this because of having years of working successfully with us on this issue were in fact fired.  When I started hearing from social workers, police officers, shelter workers, etc., that they were being told specifically not to speak to us an

I NEED A HERO

We need the system in place that we have to make this country work.  The system we have is why if someone is breaking into your home at midnight you can call 911 - and within minutes someone is there to help you.  If there's a drunk driver weaving down the street - the police will ticket them, the court will sentence them - and we have one less drunk driver on the street. We have a system that WORKS. Until the Telecommunications Act of 1995 that is.  Why?  Because our country has always worked on the very basic premise that people are as honest as you MAKE them.  This is why we were granted the right to bear arms - not to hunt, not even for self-protection - but to ARM OURSELVES AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT.  I didn't say that - the CONSTITUTION says that.  Look it up.   Noam Chomsky has said that "propaganda to democracy is like guns to a dictatorship".  Meaning what?  Meaning that people in a democracy are controlled by propaganda just like a dictator uses a gun t

HOW TO ADVANCE YOUR CAREER USING VICTIMS OF SEX TRAFFICKING - EXPLOITING THE EXPLOITED

What do sex traffickers do?  They exploit their victims, make money off their pain and work, then after they're used up and broken, they go out and get a new fresh victim to exploit - casting aside the used up broken down one because their usefulness is gone.  Right?  Isn't that the difference between a "sex worker" and a "trafficking victim"? I want to point you to the career of Gypsy Rose Lee.  This was a woman who had a mentally ill mother.  Her sister was known in films as "Baby June".  She was the "ugly duckling" that the mom would dress up as a back-up dancer on Vaudeville when they'd tour to do shows which advanced Baby June's career.  Their mom was getting all the money also.  The whole story was turned into a film with Nataliee Wood playing her, and then later redone with Bette Midler playing the mother. They were desperate financially at one point as Vaudeville was dying.  There was always the cash cow of stripping -

BOY "8 MINUTES IS GETTING DESPERATE NOW TO COVER THEIR ASS

After I wrote the below response after reading the Buzzfeed article stating that supposedly imaginary people filed a lawsuit against Relativity Media - I'm asking myself "why are they going to such an extreme measure to try and make that show look like it was real instead of a total scripted fraud?" I've learned how these people play and I say to myself "they're up to something".  Sure enough - I discover that the very day this lawsuit was filed this happened - http://deadline.com/2015/09/relativity-media-ryan-kavanaugh-last-minute-offer-bid-1201558084/#comment-list-wrapper Very clever.  He's trying to score millions of dollars so he doesn't want people thinking he's a complete con artist who catfishes people and exploits real sex trafficking victims, nor that he's doing it to cover up real trafficking that men like Liang Yaohui were involved with who got arrested finally a few months ago.  No we don't want people thinking that no
