The Imagine program, launched by The High Atlas in 2016, is one of many programs empowering Morocco’s rural working women through free education, workshops and organized civil society initiatives.
Imagine is a collection of self-discovery seminars that inspire and prepare women to understand their innate worth, pinpoint their objectives, and carefully analyze their futuristic options.
Since 2011, the High Atlas Foundation (HAF) has supported women’s empowerment, sustainable development, and community development.
The organization has carried out these workshops in the spirit of decentralization, participation, and empowerment of women.
The four-day Imagine program offers a setting for seeking individual and group empowerment as well as improved communal well-being.
In addition, the Imagine workshops help women become more knowledgeable about the law and provide social protection for them.
“These collective building workshops promote access to equitable development and financial independence based on a rights framework that incorporates Morocco’s Moudawana,” according to HAF.
The courses teach the women how to assess their social connections and how these connections affect their capacity to achieve their objectives.
Money and work, emotions and the body, sexuality and spirituality are some of the topics covered in the Imagine seminars. Participants discuss their perspectives on these topics as well as their future goals.
The project highlights the significance of empowering women in remote regions, as well as the importance of decentralizing national procedures and increasing women’s labor participation.
more than 94% of the 93 participating women had never heard of Moudawana before, according to a study by HAF in 2017 in the Al Haouz region.
The Imagine experience promotes cooperative development and aids in the growth of women’s cooperatives to increase financial independence, widen networks, and advance changes in the roles of women in their communities.
436 women from the provinces of Al Haouz, Boujdour, Tinghir, Marrakech, and the Oujda region benefited from Imagine empowerment workshops, according to HAF
Ten female university students received training in the workshops to become empowerment program facilitators.
“A group of 35 women started a literacy program in their town after recruiting a female university student to combat illiteracy. Participants who took part in the course are helping to fund their kids’ education. 65 women joined parent organizations and are actively involved in initiatives to enhance nearby schools”, according to HAF.
