La détresse des mères célibataires au Maroc

Video        Mediapart        4 February 2020

"Ouled el Haram", "les enfants du pêché".

C’est ainsi que l’on désigne en arabe au Maroc

les enfants nés hors mariage,

les marginalisant à vie dès la naissance.

C’est à eux et à leurs mères célibataires

condamnés à vivre dans le rejet,

la honte et la culpabilité

que la réalisatrice marocaine Maryam Touzani

consacre son premier long métrage :

Adam qui sort en salles en France

mercredi 5 février 2020.

Elle est l'invitée de notre émission Maghreb express,

animée par Rachida El Azzouzi.

sont bafouées.

Khadija rape case spurs women into action in Morocco: 'I will not keep silent'

Video        G        26 November 2018

Moroccan teenager Khadija

says she was kidnapped at knife-point,

then raped, beaten and tortured by 12 men

during a two-month ordeal.

The case caused outrage,

and inspired the #Masaktach

– 'I will not keep silent' – campaign,

encouraging women to fight back

against the pervasive sexual harassment and violence

they encounter on Morocco's streets
