Women Seek Budget Equity
The Democratic Association of Moroccan Women, as part of its proposals for the 2027 Finance Bill, called for one-third of employment and training appropriations to be allocated to women, 30% of the Small and Medium-Sized Enterprise Support Fund to be directed to projects run by women, and 4 billion dirhams to be added to the social protection budget. It urged efforts to increase women’s participation in the labor market, currently at 18.1%, arguing that the 21.1% target set out in the bill was insufficient compared with targets of 30% in 2026 and 45% in 2035. It also proposed increasing women’s access to reproductive and maternal health services to 80%. The proposals also included earmarking 15% of the national education budget for reviewing curricula and combating stereotypes and school dropout; strengthening protections for women working in the informal sector; and providing the resources needed to implement the reform of the Family Code and support victims of violence and women in vulnerable situations.
