Rabat, November 2025

The Moroccan Chapter of the International Network of Liberal Women, in partnership with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation, organized a roundtable discussion on women’s diplomacy and advocacy in Morocco on November 30, 2025.

The active participation of women in parliamentary, partisan, and civic diplomacy is a crucial lever for strengthening Morocco’s diplomacy, defending its interests, and advancing social causes and women’s rights.

Organizing this roundtable provides a valuable opportunity to enrich the national debate on women’s representation in diplomacy and human rights advocacy. By fostering the exchange of experiences, best practices, and perspectives, this event aims to raise awareness among political, civic, and social actors about the importance of increasing women’s effective participation in these key sectors.

Casablanca, October 2025

Women’s entrepreneurship in Morocco represents a vital pillar of the country’s evolving economic and social landscape. Despite persistent structural, social, and economic barriers limiting women’s access to resources, financing, and professional networks, recent reforms, public and private support programs, and the emergence of dynamic women’s networks are opening new horizons for female entrepreneurship.

In this context, the Moroccan Section of the International Network of Liberal Women (INLW) organized a roundtable on “Women’s Freedom to ENTERPRISE in Morocco” on Saturday, October 18, 2025, in partnership with the Friedrich Naumann Foundation for Freedom.

This event aimed to examine the reality of women’s economic freedom in Morocco from both theoretical and practical perspectives, by showcasing concrete support mechanisms, exploring cooperation opportunities, and fostering partnerships among female leaders to inspire innovative and impactful initiatives.

The roundtable provided a platform for dialogue and exchange among INLW members, women entrepreneurs, institutional partners, and civil society organizations working to promote women’s economic empowerment.

Empowering Women Leaders Through Political Communication Excellence

In a significant effort to bridge the gender gap in governance across the Middle East and North Africa, INLW Morocco, in collaboration with the WoMena initiative (an AHLN project), will convene a specialized workshop on political communication in Rabat on June 21, 2025. This training is specifically tailored for twenty women affiliated with the Al Hurrya Network who are seeking to strengthen their influence and leadership within the political sphere. Supported by partner SILC, the event aims to provide participants with the practical tools and strategic insights necessary to navigate a challenging regional landscape.

The initiative addresses a critical need, as female political participation in the MENA region continues to face entrenched social, cultural, and legal barriers. Despite recent progress through quotas and affirmative action measures in certain countries, women remain largely underrepresented in senior decision-making roles due to patriarchal norms and traditional gender expectations. Furthermore, many nations still lack the comprehensive legal frameworks required to ensure true gender equality, with some maintaining constitutional obstacles that hinder women’s engagement in public life.

Organizers believe that mastering political communication is essential for overcoming these hurdles, as it facilitates transparent dialogue, builds public trust, and establishes the strong networks needed for systemic change. By combining effective communication strategies with professional development, the workshop seeks to create an environment where women can successfully assume leadership roles and reshape the regional political narrative. The program will be held at the NJ Hotel, located at 63 Avenue Moulay Youssef in Rabat.

Throughout the session, participants will engage in intensive training focused on public speaking, personal branding, and the development of digital and social media strategies. A key component of the workshop involves mentorship from experienced leaders, designed to guide emerging politicians in adapting their messages for diverse audiences. By the conclusion of the event, attendees are expected to have cultivated the skills and platforms necessary to sustain their own leadership brands and contribute to the growth of the WoMena network.
