Promoting Women’s Rights Through Film and Diplomacy

March 19, 2016 By Mary Stucky

By DANIELLE DOUGLAS

RABAT, Morocco—As Rupert Joy stood behind the podium at the front of Rabat’s Le 7ième Art Cinema, his tall shadow reflected on the floor-to-ceiling movie screen behind him, the flags of the European Union and Morocco positioned in parallel fashion beside him. Joy, the European Union Ambassador to Morocco, echoed through the crowded theater—first in Arabic, then again in French— as he addressed the importance of women’s rights and gender equality.

“Equality between men and woman is one of the fundamental values of human rights that is supported by the European Union,” Joy said.

Moroccan media outlet launches amid press crackdown

September 21, 2015 By Mary Stucky

By Kayla Dwyer

CASABLANCA, Morocco – With less than a week before the launch of their news website, about a dozen journalists huddled around computers in a small, modern office, the sun streaming in glass windows that overlook the streets of Casablanca, as they put finishing touches on one of their stories involving government internet surveillance of Moroccan citizens.

“We are old new pioneers,” said Ali Amar, publisher and co-founder of Le Desk, which will go live online today. “We don’t know how the readers will react, but if we succeed, we think there is huge opportunity.”

In a country where independent press has nearly disappeared, this team of journalists is trying once more to bring reporting on hot button issues to Moroccans.

Zineb Belmkaddem – Connecting the Battles for Human Rights

March 24, 2014 By Susan Skaza

By: SUSAN SKAZA

RABAT, Morocco – Zineb Belmkaddem, 29, cynically credits the government for her newest job as an English teacher at Euromediterranean University of Fez, a recently established university in Morocco.

“I know the government has something to do with this job,” she said. “They want me off the street. I mean, off everything. My boss told me.”

Due to her outspoken criticism of the local regime, Belmkaddem says the government is trying to restrain her by keeping her busy at the university. In a country where freedom of expression is limited, this Muslim feminist is one of the last prominent human rights activists left in Morocco.

For African refugees in Morocco, a perilous path to asylum

December 1, 2013 By Admin

 

By JACOB AXELRAD

This story was published in The Christian Science Monitor on November 30, 2013.

On the main drag in Oujda, a border city that most Moroccans have never visited, a neon sign hanging from a balcony reads “Welcome to Fabulous Las Vegas.”

But for thousands of migrants who wash up here, life is anything but fabulous. One of them, a Ghanian who calls himself Afro, sits in a restaurant called Mr. Smith, under the neon sign. Sipping water, he talks about life as an undocumented migrant in Morocco.
