Al-Mansouri: Female-led government not equal gender equality in Morocco

Prime Minister Fatima Zahra Al-Mansouri emphasized that the arrival of a woman to lead the Moroccan government for the first time is a historic and symbolic milestone. However, it does not reflect the achievement of gender parity as outlined in the constitution. There remains a pressing need for further reforms to enhance women's participation in institutions and decision-making positions. She pointed out that progress in women's representation requires additional efforts and linked women's empowerment to Morocco's economic and social development. She affirmed that women constitute half of the national energies, and that failing to empower them deprives the country of significant potential. She also clarified that establishing a dedicated Ministry for Women and Parity reflects the government's interest, with plans to adopt an integrated approach involving all sectors to achieve equality. Finally, she confirmed that the government has measures and indicators in place to implement its commitments and to strengthen women's participation in development.
