Resumen
As feministas marroquinas tem como objetivo promover posições de poder para as mulheres através da educação, da autoconsciência e do conhecimento de novos direitos legais; e também disseminando informações a respeito do novo código da família e do novo código trabalhista por meio de suas ONGs e grupos comunitários. O ativismo das mulheres contribuiu de maneira significativa para a democracia na sociedade marroquina devido a seu grande envolvimento nas questões sociais e políticas e a seu acesso à mídia. O ativismo feminino é essencial à modernização e à democracia, pois foi o movimento feminista que abriu espaço para a sociedade civil e para a cultura democrática. O movimento de mulheres fez também com que as autoridades se conscientizassem de que as mulheres podem ter um papel significativo em todas as instâncias da vida, inclusive no domínio religioso. O fenômeno do Murshidat é um passo pioneiro dado pelo governo para promover um Islã moderado e para lutar contra o extremismo islâmico.
Abstract
Moroccan feminists endeavour to promote women’s empowerment through education, awareness, and knowledge of new legal rights; they also disseminate information about the new family code and the new labour code through their NGOs and community-based groups. Women's activism has significantly contributed to democracy in Moroccan society due to its greater social involvement in social and political affairs and due to the proliferation of women's associations, and to their access to the media. Women’s activism is essential to modernisation and democracy, for it is the women’s movement that has opened space for civil society and for democratic culture. Women’s movement has also raised the awareness of the authorities that women can play a significant role in all walks of life, including in the religious domain. The phenomenon of the Murshidat is a pioneering step taken by the government to promote a moderate Islam and to fight Islamist extremism.
