Seshma Bissesar is a journalist, writer and tour operator.
She is also chairman of the “Stop Sexual Abuse Suriname” Foundation.
She started working in the media around the age of 18 and slowly but surely started to specialize in human rights. She especially prefers gender issues and children’s rights as a journalist. Because of the many injustices that she experiences every day, she also decided to seek refuge in the tourism sector. Traveling is her hobby and especially traveling through her country does her good. Touring on the water calms her down and gives her new energy in her journalistic/writing work.
As a woman, she also has a mission: to reduce sexual violence. As a child, she was born in an environment of domestic violence. She knew it wasn’t normal and talked about it openly in her circle of friends. By talking a lot she found out that her friends were going through the same thing and even worse. They were sexually abused and kept it secret as much as possible. When she was 20 years old, she decided to do something with the subject and so she set up her own foundation where, today, she contributes to awareness about sexual abuse.
