Morocco: Young Women and Change

Let's go straight to our first question.

And it comes from Maryam Aminah.

So my question is, do you think tradition in Morocco helps or hinders the progress of young women today? And how can we find a balance between preserving cultural identity and embracing development?

Thank you very much, Maryam.

Thank you.

Kautorias, your first thoughts.

So hello, everyone.

As I see in Morocco, we always talk about tradition as something that we all know is something basic and we can't go far away from it.

So when we talk about young women, we also talk about a generation that is going to lead this country later.

I see that tradition must be something that reinforces women in Morocco, based on the relation between religion and the tradition in Morocco.

We are, at the end, an Islamic country.

We have some general rules.

But that doesn't stop women to do what they want.

At the end, everyone has his freedom.

But your freedom ends when my freedom starts.

If everyone does whatever he wants, if every woman is wild, it's not going to be something that gives harmony to our society.

Thank you very much indeed.

Frizzi, can I ask you, the question was about tradition in Morocco.

Does it help or hinder the progress of young women today?

I would say tradition has always been a big part of our country culture.

And I can tell that women have been hindered in the early ages.

But nowadays, we can actually define tradition more like a signature.

It's like a blueprint.

It's like a color for the country, rather than something that should limit the progression and the modernity of women's situation and state in Morocco.

So I think we're getting more aware that we shouldn't be letting such thing that has been put by our ancestors and people that are probably no longer in life hinder what's going on in 2026.
