This was the second Scream in Tanzania! About 400 people showed up at the event celebrated on March 28, 2014 at 7pm. At the Goethe Institut, in Upanga Dar-es-salaam, and the screams were louder than ever. Poets lit a fire on that stage with their words; there were tears, hope, and even laughter as the audience took an emotional journey with the poetry and music. “This was our best one yet”. -Said Neema komba from La Poetista, event’s coordinator. There were so many performers, young men and women. It was just so awesome that young people could get together and SCREAM with all they have and be heard. It was an unfitting experience.
La Poetista collaborated with AIESEC- Institute of Finance Management
(IFM) Chapter, an international students’ organization, to organize
this event. It was hosted by Goethe Institut sponsor, and Survivorhood
that sponsored communication. Also the event received the collaboration of Legal
and Human Rights Center (LHRC) who brought materials on gender based
violence to share with the audience, TBC FM- Esther Namuhisa hosted talking
about Woman Scream on her radio program, and Vijana FM ran the event
story prior to the event. The coordinators thank Jael Uribe, MPI’s President
and general coordinator of Woman Scream festival worldwide, for her
encouragement, and guidance as they prepared for the event.
Members of the Organizing
Committee worked hard to make sure the event happened. A special
appreciation goes to the team who made it possible: Keziah Elaine Ayikoru, Nancy
Lazaro, Naamala Samson, Edgar Lushaju, Charles Mtae, and Susan Ponera all from
