2026 Elections and Women's Quota Challenges
The article addresses the current situation of women's participation in the 2026 legislative elections in Morocco, with a focus on the challenges faced in achieving the principle of equal representation and equal opportunities in candidacy and access to decision-making positions. The two concerned coalitions emphasized that the limited presence of women on electoral lists, disparities in their chances of reaching leadership roles, and reliance on opaque criteria such as financial capability and kinship hinder the implementation of the constitution and threaten the principle of equal opportunities. The report also pointed to the rise of practices that obstruct women's participation, particularly digital political violence, calling for a reassessment of candidacy standards, increased transparency, and the implementation of temporary affirmative policies to correct historical inequalities. The success of the upcoming elections will serve as a true test of the commitment to equality, as the 2021 results showed that the percentage of women MPs through local lists did not exceed 2%, highlighting the need to improve female representation in an effective and sustainable manner.
