In a speech to the Nation on the occasion of the 23rd anniversary of Throne Day, King Mohammed VI called for a reform of the moudouwana, the Moroccan family code, in order to guarantee the rights of all, men and women.
The Sovereign said that the application on the ground had lifted the veil on some limitations of the moudouwana, which have hindered its optimal implementation.
This code was first amended in 1993 by Hassan II, then revised in February 2004 by the Moroccan Parliament and promulgated by King Mohammed VI on 10 October 2004. It had brought many gender equality demands to reality.
