Abstract

Rural women in Morocco face significant barriers to accessing justice due to social norms, cultural practices, and limited legal awareness. A mixed-methods study combining quantitative survey data with qualitative insights from focus group discussions and in-depth interviews to explore the effectiveness of legal aid programmes for women in Morocco’s rural areas. Findings indicate that while awareness campaigns have increased understanding of women's rights by 45%, implementation challenges persist, particularly regarding access to legal assistance and enforcement of gender equality laws. Despite progress, there is a need for sustained community engagement and policy support to address remaining gaps in legal empowerment for rural Moroccan women. Continued collaboration between governmental bodies, non-governmental organizations (NGOs), and local communities to enhance access to justice and promote gender equality in Morocco’s rural settings.
