  • The Feminist Movement in the Moroccan Spring: Roles, Specificity, and Gains
    Sociology Study, December 2015, Vol. 5, No. 12, 895‐910 D doi: 10.17265/2159‐5526/2015.12.001 DAVID PUBLISHING The Feminist Movement in the Moroccan Spring: Roles, Specificity, and Gains Mohammed Yachoultia Abstract The Moroccan Spring in 2011 has been a golden opportunity for Moroccan women to put their country on the democratization track. Their decision to take an integral part in all aspects of the uprisings stems from their belief that their participation and contribution are necessary for any potential democratic changes that would undoubtedly secure and bring them more rights. However, the appointment of only one female minister in the first Islamist‐led government and the reluctance to implement the provisions of the new constitution, namely the issue of gender parity, are but two of the new alarming examples that have disappointed Moroccan women. Based on interviews with women’s movement organizations’ leaders and 20 February Movement (20‐FMVT) female activists and through following the development of the Arab Spring in Morocco in particular and in the Middle Eastern & Northern Africa region in general, this paper considers the different roles, specificity, and gains of Moroccan women during and after the so‐called Moroccan Spring. The paper argues that despite their limited gains in the aftermath of this momentum, Moroccan women managed once again to prove their agency and ability to change laws and instigate reforms. Keywords Moroccan women, Arab Spring, 20 February Movement (20‐FMVT), democracy Anyone familiar with Moroccan women’s Northern Africa) region (the best examples to mention achievements in the last two decades will not be here are the family and the Nationality Codes), surprised by their active role in the “Moroccan Spring”.

  • Violations of the Right of Ngos to Funding: from Harassment to Criminalisation
    2013 “The topic of this year’s report is most pertinent as lately we have witnessed increased stigmatization and undue restrictions in relation to access to funding and resources for civil society organizations, in REPORT ANNUAL an attempt to stifle any forms of criticism, especially calls for democratic change or accountability for human rights violations. [...] I am particularly dismayed about laws or policies stigmatizing recipients due to their sources of funding, which have been adopted in the past months or are under consideration, Violations of the right in several countries across the world”. “I am confident that the Observatory report and my work in this field will be complementary and of NGOs to funding: mutually beneficial. I hope our joint efforts will succeed and will pave the way for better respect of the right to freedom of association, especially its core component, the access to funding and resources, in all parts of the world. It is ultimately the obligation of Member States to fully protect this right, OMCTFIDH - from harassment which shall be enjoyed by everyone”. Maina Kiai, United Nations Special Rapporteur on the Rights to Freedom of Peaceful Assembly and of Association. to criminalisation The Annual Report 2013 of the Observatory provides a global review of the violations of the right of NGOs to funding. It provides a detailed picture of this as yet little studied problem, the growing Foreword by Maina Kiai dimension of which is a worrying concern. This picture is illustrated with around thirty country situations affecting human rights organisations. While recalling the legal basis of this right, as well as its organic relationship with the right to freedom of association and the embryonic jurisprudence on this subject, the report stimulates deep reflection on the negative impacts of these restrictive measures and makes concrete recommendations to all relevant stakeholders (beneficiaries, donors, governments and intergovernmental organisations).

  • Conclusions of the 2011 Lisbon Forum

In addition to the co-organisers, the North-South Centre of the Council of Europe and the United Nations Alliance of Civilizations, and the host organisation, the Aga Khan Development Network, many relevant international players participated in the forum, such as the European Union, the League of Arab States, the Union for the Mediterranean, the African Union, UNESCO, the International Federation of Human Rights and the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Network. It provided a unique opportunity to gather together government representatives, parliamentarians, local and regional elected representatives and members of civil society, in accordance with the "quadrilogue" principle that governs the functioning of the North-South Centre and thanks to the synergies developed with the meeting of the "focal points" of the Alliance of Civilizations. The discussions aimed both to identify common features that could be deemed characteristic of the "Arab Spring" and to determine the specificities of and the differences between the countries that had experienced major political upheavals since early 2011.

The circumstances of his arrest – from a restaurant in Rabat, by eight undercover police in two unmarked vehicles and without a warrant from the courts – are shocking, as well as illegal. Moreover, this is, alas, the latest episode in a five-year-long effort on the part of the government of the Kingdom of Morocco and its media services to undermine and delegitimize Dr. Monjib’s activities in the pursuit of civil liberties and democratic governance, and to do so by harassing him and accusing him of improprieties. We call upon the Moroccan government to immediately release Dr. Monjib from prison and to stop, once and for all, the baseless and scandalous campaign against him, as well as other, recently detained Moroccans who advocate peacefully – with words – for democracy and social justice in Morocco. MESA was founded in 1966 to promote scholarship and teaching on the Middle East and North Africa. The preeminent organization in the field, the Association publishes the International Journal of Middle East Studies and has more than 2800 members worldwide.

    La Revue Marocaine de la Pensée Contemporaine- www.imist.ma- no 3 janvier2019- ISSN : 2605-6488 The Role of Social Media in Promoting Women’s Rights in Morocco in the Aftermath of the Arab Spring Belhorma Souad, Assistant Professor Polydisciplinary Faculty of Errachidia Moulay Ismail University Yachoulti Mohammed, Associate Professor Department of English Studies Faculty of Letters and Human Sciences Moulay Ismail University Abstract The societal and political changes that have swept Morocco in the last couple of decades have managed to empower large segments of the country’s population. Many stereotypes have been shattered, with youth and women becoming the essential drivers for the political and civic changes. Meanwhile, the debate on the role of social media in these reforms has continued to grow significantly across Morocco. Social media have recently been linked with the growing interaction among people around the world and are often seen as new paradigms in communication efficiency. The core of the present article is to examine the role of social media in promoting women’s rights in Morocco. In other words, the article questions whether the advent of social media has helped in promoting gender equality, and in improving justice and democracy in the country namely in the aftermaths of the Arab spring. This is done through investigating examples and cases where Moroccan women used social media to advance their agenda of gender equality and democracy promotion. The article starts from the assumption that social media have transformed the situation of women and helped in collaboration with factors such as modernity and the willingness of the government to enhance justice and democracy to greatly advance and push Moroccan women steps forward.
