On Nissen's initiative, the Arbeitsgemeinschaft Sozialdemokratischer Frauen Hessen-Süd has been awarding the Olympe-de-Gouges Prize since 2001 to honor the commitment of people and institutions to women's freedom rights and gender equality.

As in the 18th German Bundestag, Nissen is again the secretary of the 19th German Bundestag.

Controversy

Nissen was a volunteer auditor for the workers' welfare in Frankfurt, from whose post she resigned after the public prosecutor's office there initiated investigations into suspected fraud and breach of trust in the context of the "AWO scandal" . According to her own statement, she had no real overview of the financial processes at the social association. Nissen went on to say that they, like their fellow auditor, felt deceived; be it through errors in the report of the upstream, full-time auditors or through concealment of facts on the part of the AWO management. It therefore recommended the publication of the audit report for 2016 and 2017 and also welcomed the fact that the federal association is now taking tough action.
