is an international non-profit organization based in Rabat and working across the Maghreb. Our mission is to contribute to changes in four domains – legal, structural, cultural and relational – to promote women’s human rights. We work for grassroots micro-level changes in behaviors and practices to support our activism for macro level reform initiatives. Our multidimensional strategies are designed for various layers of sustainable transformation for women. We collaborate primarily with youth-led NGOs, lawyers and other activists located in a diversity of sites across the country outside of the traditional capitals. In efforts to decentralize and horizontalize the women’s movement, we support groups working in underserved areas including shantytowns, rural villages and popular urban neighborhoods, with both Arabic and Amazigh speaking communities. https://mrawomen.ma/
