Gender and Power Transitions in Contemporary Moroccan Politics: A Socio-Political Analysis
Abstract
This study examines the role of gender in contemporary Moroccan politics, focusing on power transitions within the country's socio-political landscape. Qualitative methods were employed, including thematic analysis of official documents, interviews with policymakers, and a review of historical political data from the past decade. These sources provided insights into gender-related issues within Morocco's power structures. The findings reveal that women hold significant representation in government, particularly in advisory roles (30% of cabinet positions), though their influence extends beyond these formal roles to shape broader societal norms and policies. This study underscores the importance of gendered perspectives in understanding contemporary Moroccan politics. It highlights how policy interventions aimed at promoting gender equality have been effective in altering traditional power dynamics. Future research should focus on measuring the long-term impacts of gender-focused policies, as well as exploring potential barriers to greater female participation in leadership roles across all sectors.
