SheShe Slam 2026
Theme: Her Voice Is Not a Crime
SheShe Slam 2026 marks the 5th edition of Ghana’s premier women-centered spoken word platform, intentionally hosted each year to commemorate International Women’s Day.
For five consecutive years, SheShe Slam has created a national stage dedicated to amplifying women’s voices through poetry, performance, and civic dialogue. The 2026 edition focuses specifically on confronting gender-based violence and the culture of silence that enables it.
Under the theme “Her Voice Is Not a Crime,” this year’s event centers the lived realities of women affected by domestic abuse, harassment, systemic exclusion, and social intimidation. Through curated performances and structured engagement, the platform transforms storytelling into advocacy and awareness.
Aligned with the mission of International Women’s Day, SheShe Slam advances gender equality by:
• Raising awareness about gender-based violence through the arts
• Providing a safe, visible platform for women’s expression
• Challenging harmful norms that silence or blame survivors
• Encouraging community accountability and collective responsibility
• Empowering women as leaders within the creative and civic space
Hosted in Accra, Ghana, the event brings together poets, educators, activists, and community members committed to equity and justice.
Now in its fifth year, SheShe Slam stands not only as a creative gathering, but as an intentional annual act of remembrance, resistance, and renewal in honor of International Women’s Day.
