MOROCCO: PREVENTING VIOLENCE AGAINST SCHOOL GIRLS

Violence against women and girls is widespread in Morocco, and fear of stigmatization and conservative cultural norms prevent most survivors from reporting it. Young women and adolescent girls are especially at risk, with 71 per cent of those aged between 15 and 19 reported to have been subjected to some form of violence. Association Ennakhil, a non-governmental organization based in Marrakech city in western Morocco, has been working for 25 years to promote gender equality and the legal, political, socioeconomic and educational rights of women and girls.
