EU-Backed Program Empowers 3,000 Single Mothers in Morocco with Job Training and Support

During a webinar on the assessment of its partnership with the EU, the association took stock of the actions taken. Over the past five years, more than 3,000 single mothers and their children have been empowered, announced Meriem Othmani, founding president of INSAF. Among them, 680 have benefited from vocational training and 450 have found permanent employment to meet their needs.

In addition to these support actions, training and empowerment workshops have been set up with the European Union for an integration rate of the beneficiaries set at 72%.

For Séverin Strohal, head of the Governance section of the European Union in Morocco, the situation of single mothers is worrying, as they are victims, with their children, of discrimination, rejection, and violence. "Reintegrating these mothers and their children into their rights and dignity is fundamental to being part of the humanistic and egalitarian vision that we all gathered here wish to promote," he recalled.
