Months before entering government, residents of Fihr questioned whether a woman could lead Morocco’s government, particularly as she advocated for greater female participation and representation in decision-making positions. Now, she finds herself a member of a government led by a woman, following her appointment by King Mohammed VI on Friday. She has been named as a Delegate Minister to the Head of Government, tasked with relations with Parliament. This appointment signifies a step towards increased female presence in Moroccan politics. The lawyer’s role will focus on fostering connections and collaboration between the government and the legislative body. The news was first reported by Hespress, a Moroccan online newspaper.
