How does the shadow report compare to the report submitted by the Moroccan government?
ADFM: Our shadow report is more targeted than the government report, with special attention to the social and political dynamics that impact the status of women in Morocco. Moreover, we think that our report is a more accurate representation of the critical issues impacting women today. The Moroccan shadow report is available in English, French, and Arabic. Mrs. Rachida Tahiri, National President of ADFM and Mrs. Rabéa Naciri, President of ADFM/Rabat will be present in New York the week prior to the examination by the CEDAW Committee, on behalf of Moroccan NGOs. Mrs. Habiba Zahi, President of the “Association Marocaine des Droits des Femmes,” a Moroccan women’s rights organization, will also be present in New York. ADFM held a press conference July 15 to discuss the CEDAW Committee’s review of the Moroccan report.
