Al-Asouli urges parties on women’s economic role

The article discussed Fadwa Al-Assouli, President of the Federation of Women's Rights Associations, emphasizing the urgent need to enhance the economic empowerment of Moroccan women. She criticized the political parties' programs—particularly the National Rally of Independents, Authenticity and Modernity, and the Independence Party—for their lack of effective strategies to increase women's economic activity, with the developmental model aiming for a 40% participation rate by 2030. Al-Assouli called for ambitious measures related to investing in employment opportunities, infrastructure for care and social services, and questioned how committed the parties are to their goals of empowering women economically—especially given structural challenges and the absence of concrete policies to address these barriers, notably in rural areas and the informal sector. She highlighted the importance of integrating a strong qualitative approach into economic policies to tackle women's limited participation in the labor market, linking this to national growth and development outcomes—especially in light of Morocco preparing to host the 2030 World Cup. In conclusion, Al-Assouli posed direct questions to the parties regarding their commitment to implementing tangible and realistic programs to empower women economically, reaffirming that Moroccan women demand an active role within the national economy, not just symbolic presence in political discourse.
