Get involved! Women empowerment in Morocco

Did you watch any of the election debates during the last Provincial Council elections? Then you must have noticed: lots of men in suits. We currently have only a few female party leaders in the Netherlands. Not only that: women occupy only 46 of the 150 Lower House members, are underrepresented in top positions and are still paid less in the same positions. Fortunately, many projects exist to change this. A well-known example is 'Vote for a Woman', an initiative to promote women's political emancipation and representation. As a result, last election, 42 women were elected with preferential votes. But there is still a world to be won, even though women have been allowed to stand for election for more than 100 years.
