Thirty-four women elected in Morocco’s parliament
2007-09-10
Thirty-four women were elected to Morocco's Parliament during the recent legislative elections, Moroccan press quoted the Interior Ministry as saying on Sunday (September 9th). A government quota of 10% of Parliament's 325 seats reserved thirty places for women on a national list, and four women were elected on local lists. In 2002, five women were elected above the 10% quota.

Women should be given all and real rights. Among these is the right to run against men in diffenent areas instead of this hidden discrimination. I hope the coming govenment will be courageous enough to do something concrete and real for women.

Dear Noureddine I agree on that point. One day there will be justus for everything. Mbrouk el aid. Abdelatif
