Released in 2022, the documentary “When Women Speak” put a rare spotlight on the history of women’s activism in Ghana from the 1960s onwards. It portrays long-time activists and their struggle for the rights of women in their own voices. In our latest post, Gifty Nyame Tabiri reviews that film on the tracks of voluntariness and underscores the necessity of voluntary agency for women’s activism in a post-colonial state.
