Rabat – On the occasion of International Women’s Day, observed on March 8 each year, the Central Committee for Women’s Work of the National Union of Labor in Morocco issued a statement emphasizing the importance of the struggles of Moroccan and Arab women, while expressing full solidarity with Palestinian women facing harsh challenges under Israeli occupation.
The statement praised the role of Moroccan women, who have led union battles in defense of rights and the preservation of gains, affirming that they have been and remain essential partners in the struggle for freedom, dignity, and social and professional justice. The committee noted that celebrating International Women’s Day is not merely a moment of recognition but an opportunity to highlight women’s struggles and sacrifices in the face of marginalization, poverty, and discrimination.
In this context, the committee paid tribute to Palestinian women, especially those in Gaza, who continue to resist Israeli occupation and endure immense suffering for the sake of their homeland. The committee stressed that Palestinian women face a war of extermination, killing, and displacement, in addition to brutal attacks on children, women, and arbitrary arrests, yet they remain steadfast and determined to achieve freedom and justice.
The committee also called on Moroccan women to continue their struggle for their rights and dignity and to confront the systemic violence they face in the workplace, particularly in the agricultural sector, both within Morocco and abroad. It emphasized the need to consider the social and economic status of women in the revision of the Family Code and to enhance their role and empowerment to ensure the building of a just and equitable society.
The statement highlighted that the National Union of Labor will continue to engage in the national effort related to the Family Code, aiming to ensure the stability of the family as the fundamental unit of society. The committee also warned of the need to protect families and society from legal and judicial repercussions that could affect social cohesion, especially in light of rising divorce rates and declining marriage rates.
The committee concluded its statement by reaffirming that Moroccan women will remain partners to men in the battle to defend fundamental rights and freedoms, such as the right to education, health, work, decent living conditions, and freedom of union activity, in addition to the struggle against rising prices and inflation.
On this occasion, the Central Committee for Women’s Work of the National Union of Labor in Morocco reiterated its commitment to supporting the struggles of Moroccan and Arab women, especially Palestinian women, in their pursuit of justice, freedom, and dignity.
