Rabat- Morocco has undertaken a series of major reforms to strengthen the principles of fairness and gender equality, said Friday in Rabat, Minister-delegate for Foreign Affairs and Cooperation, Mbarka Bouaida.
"The integration of the gender equality is reflected in real actions, measures and provisions through strategies, programs and action plans, and on several levels," she said on the occasion of the celebration of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Cooperation and the United Nations in Morocco of International Women's Day.
The issue of human rights has led, over the past two decades, to "unprecedented interest in Morocco," Bouaida said, noting Morocco's keenness to promote the issue of women's rights.
For Minister of Solidarity, Women and Social Development, Bassima Hakkaoui, Morocco, with its democratic and constitutional achievements, works to consolidate the integration of the gender approach in public policies.
For her part, Representative of UN Women in the Maghreb, Leila Rhiwi, said the organization of this event, on the occasion of the International Women's Day, reflects the strong determination of Morocco for the promotion and protection of women's human rights, a commitment reaffirmed in 2011 with the adoption of a constitution that can be considered a pioneer in the region in terms of gender equality.
