In 2014, Grami criticized the 2014 parliamentary election for the limited number of women candidates, describing gender as a stronger determining factor in politics than political ideology. In 2016, Grami was denied a travel visa to Egypt when she attempted to attend a conference. In 2022, Grami was one of several figures to contest their inclusion on a list of individuals to engage in a dialogue with the President of Tunisia, saying that she did not agree to be included.
