A forum focused on women's economic empowerment was held in Casablanca, Morocco. The event, organized by the Center for Incubation and Research in Social and Solidarity Economy (CIRA-ESS), brought together experts and stakeholders to discuss pathways to greater rights and equality through economic inclusion.
Discussions centered on the significant challenges women continue to face in the Moroccan economy, including access to finance, property rights, and leadership positions. Participants analyzed the gap between legal frameworks and their practical implementation, which often hinders women's full economic participation.
The forum served as a platform to advocate for concrete policy measures and support structures, such as those provided by social and solidarity economy models. The consensus highlighted that sustainable economic empowerment requires addressing deep-rooted social and cultural norms alongside legal and financial reforms.
