Forum Highlights Few Female Candidates
The Zahra Forum for Moroccan Women focused its article on the weak presence of women in the local lists for the 2026 elections, despite an increase in the number of female candidates. This raises questions about their ability to reach elected institutions outside of the established mechanisms. The article emphasized that women's representation suffers from family interference and challenges related to selection criteria, in addition to female candidates facing criticism or symbolic violence through social media, which weakens their political participation. The forum called for improving electoral discourse, reducing violence and defamation, and stopping the targeting of women, while supporting a safe environment that ensures equal opportunities for women’s ongoing political participation.
