In Morocco, three associations have launched a national campaign warning that digital spaces are increasingly reproducing, and amplifying , gender-based violence.
Kif Mama Kif Baba, Médias et Cultures (AMC), and the Democratic Association of Moroccan Women (ADFM) argue that cyberharassment, revenge porn, doxing, and deepfakes are eroding women’s safety and silencing their voices, even as laws exist on paper.
The figures are stark: 1.5 million Moroccan women had suffered online violence by 2019, according to the High Commission for Planning, while UN Women data show that 58 percent of women surveyed reported harassment, with one-third saying attacks spilled into real life.
Activists stress that gaps in the penal code and low reporting rates perpetuate impunity, leaving victims unprotected.
Through their “Mamhkoumch” campaign, set for October, the groups call for clearer legal definitions, stronger enforcement, and digital education to reclaim cyberspace as an arena of equality rather than exclusion.
