Naïma Ben Yahya ‹ › The Minister of Solidarity, Social Inclusion and Family, Naïma Ben Yahia, announced on Monday in Rabat the upcoming launch of a nationwide awareness campaign promoting women's political participation and tackling discrimination and stereotypes in politics. Answering oral questions in the House of Representatives, Ben Yahia said the initiative is part of the «Moucharaka» programme, which aims to strengthen women's participation in the political process ahead of the 2026 and 2027 electoral deadlines. The programme will include training sessions for women members of political parties, in coordination with the leaders of women's party structures, as well as research projects carried out with universities to identify ways to improve women's political representation. These studies will also assess electoral processes through analyses conducted before and after legislative elections, with the results to be made public. Women's empowerment remains a central societal issue for achieving genuine equity, the minister added. She recalled that her department launched a consultation process last July to deepen discussions on expanding women's participation in political life, bringing together the House of Representatives, women's structures within political parties, and civil society actors. In October, the ministry held its first national conference under the theme «Women's Participation in the Political Process: A Lever to Strengthen the Values of Equality and Parity», with the aim of boosting women's engagement «not only in terms of numbers, but across the entire political process».
