One small step for women's rights, one giant leap for Morocco
On the initiative of King Mohammed VI, the whole of Morocco is debating women's and fundamental rights - a process that is a success regardless of the outcome.

Πολλά πράγματα έχουν αλλάξει από την έναρξη της κρίσης το 2015. Ο αριθμός των προσφύγων έχει μειωθεί, αλλά τα προβλήματα παραμένουν.
