Through its Democracy and Governance objectives, USAID/Morocco supports efforts to advance the involvement of women in public and political affairs and promote their participation in decision-making processes.

Morocco Information Technology in the Service of Women in Politics Project

Following the reforms to the Moudawana in February 2004, USAID partner Global Rights, began work with local NGOs to improve women's knowledge of the legal reforms made to the Moudawana on marriage, divorce, child guardianship and custody, and marital property. GR organized a workshop with local artists to work with groups of illiterate women from a human rights education program to collaboratively create an illustration of the reform. Nine illustrations produced by the beneficiaries and the local volunteer artists were presented in a poster in three languages, which will be made available throughout the country.
