Morocco: 31% of men face partner violence
Data from the High Commission for Planning in Morocco reveal that 70% of men have been exposed to at least one form of violence during their lifetime, and more than 40% of them experienced violence within the past twelve months. The data show that the marital space is the most common setting for violence against men, with 31% reporting being subjected to violence by their wives or partners, of which 73% were psychological abuse. Additionally, the Moroccan Association for the Defense of Fathers’ and Children’s Rights recorded around 1,500 cases of violence against men over three years, including hitting and extortion. There remains ambiguity in the legal definition of violence against men, as it falls under the general provisions of criminal law. Experts believe that psychological abuse should be a focus of legal reforms and medical and psychological procedures to ensure proper evidence. Some specialists consider that violence by women against men does not constitute a social phenomenon with a structural dimension, often being confined to individual cases or psychological abuse. Human rights advocates call for equality in custody and maintenance issues, emphasizing the importance of maintaining children’s relationships with both parents after divorce, with strict enforcement of legal rulings against those who obstruct these rights. Discussions about forms of family violence in Morocco are ongoing, highlighting the need to develop reporting mechanisms and legal protections tailored to the specificities of each case.
