President of the National Human Rights Council (CNDH), Amina Bouayach, was awarded the “2024 Women Future Prize” by the Spanish-French Friendship Association on Monday in Madrid, in recognition of her “unwavering commitment to the protection and promotion of fundamental rights”.

The prize was handed to Morocco’s Ambassador to Spain, Karima Benyaich, by president of the Spanish Council of State, Carmen Calvo, at a ceremony held on the occasion of the 7th International Conference on women and diplomacy.

This award illustrates Morocco’s constant commitment and progress in promoting human rights and the situation of women, under the leadership of HM King Mohammed VI, emphasized Bouayach, dedicating this tribute to “all the women who deserve our admiration for their daily struggle, and to all those who need our support and recognition for their daily efforts in the fight for women’s rights”.

“My presidency of an institution as prestigious and strategic as the CNDH, with all the impact it has had and continues to have on the evolution of human rights in Morocco, is an honor for me, as it reflects Morocco’s determination to give women access to positions of responsibility for more than two decades”, Bouayach said in a video address, noting that the advances made in Morocco had “undeniably contributed to the transformation of Moroccan society and the restructuring of relations between its different components”.
