My field study here in Maroco is concentrated on one organisation and its way of working. To be able to see and understand the bigger picture though, I take every opportunity to get extra input. Last week was very interesting. I had the chance to meet a young woman who is about to start her own feminist NGO. Her first goal concerns the sexual harassment that you experience every day in the streets. She wants the young popluation\u00a0of Morocco to be able to work side by side with the more experienced NGOs who mainly are run by a bit older women.<\/p>\n
Thanks to my house mate I was invited to listen to a formation at UN Women\u2026 unfortunately they had to postpone the session due to last minute problems for the NGOs\u2026 But, at least I got to see their office, get some information and be invited back in April\u2026<\/p>\n
Another event I joined was at the cinema. Every Thursday they show different documentaries with Human Rights theme. The one last week is called: \u201cNo Land\u2019s Song\u201d. It is about a woman\u2019s struggle to arrange a concert in Iran. Afterwards was a debate hold and parallels to women\u2019s situation in Morocco was made.<\/p>\n
Finally, the week ended with a spontaneous meeting with a president of another feminist NGO who kindly answered my questions and confirmed some of my impressions so far!<\/p>\n
