Législatives au Maroc : la réforme du Code de la famille, grand absent de la campagne

As Morocco approaches the legislative elections scheduled for September 23, the proposed reform of the Moudawana, or Family Code, has remained largely absent from the political discourse. Despite the significance of the issue, activists from the feminist collective Kif Mama Kif Baba have noted a lack of substantive engagement from political candidates.

The collective conducted an analysis of the platforms presented by eight major political parties, focusing specifically on three sensitive areas within the Family Code. According to the findings released by the group, the parties have largely avoided making concrete commitments regarding these reforms, leaving the issue on the periphery of the current campaign.

The Kif Mama Kif Baba collective highlighted that while the Family Code remains a critical topic for social policy in Morocco, the current electoral programs lack the specific details necessary to address the concerns raised by advocates for reform. The absence of clear policy proposals suggests that the matter is not currently a priority for the competing political factions.
