Ξεσηκωμός για τα δικαιώματα των γυναικών
στο Μαρόκο
Nous, citoyennes et citoyens marocains, déclarons que nous sommes hors-la-loi.
Nous violons des lois injustes, obsolètes, qui n’ont plus lieu d’être.
Nous avons eu des relations sexuelles hors mariage.
Nous avons subi, pratiqué ou été complices d’un avortement.
Nous avons appris à feindre, à composer, à faire semblant. Pour combien de temps encore ?

Thousands of Moroccan women admit breaking sex and abortion laws, risking arrest to support journalist jailed for same crimes
'We are having sex outside wedlock. We are ... being complicit of abortion,' says statement
Thousands of women in Morocco have put themselves at risk of arrest by admitting to sex outside marriage and undergoing abortions in order to show solidarity with a 28-year-old journalist who has been imprisoned for the crimes.The North African nation’s penal code bars both sex outside of wedlock and terminations where there is no risk to the mother’s life – with official figures showing courts last year tried more than 14,500 people for “debauchery”, 3,048 for adultery, 170 for homosexuality, and 73 for having abortions.
Campaigners say thousands of women have signed a statement declaring they have broken both the unmarried sex and abortion laws in a bid to show support for Hajar Raissouni, a reporter jailed after being charged with both acts.
The 28-year-old writes for Arabic-language newspaper Akhbar Al-Yaoum, which has a history of disputes with the authorities.
She attended court on Tuesday for the third hearing of her trial.
