Free Public Toilets Across Morocco
A large number of public toilets have been installed in major Moroccan cities such as Marrakech and Casablanca, as part of integrated development and urban enhancement programs. This was revealed in the written response by Interior Minister Abdelouafi Laftit to a question submitted by parliamentarian Aziza Boujrida, a member of the Haraki group.
“(In Marrakech), more than 15 public toilets are now available in various public and tourist areas, including local markets, parks, gardens, parking lots and bus stations,” the minister explained, adding that the municipality plans to delegate the management of these facilities to the private sector through partnerships, in order to expand the public toilet network across the city.

These toilets were installed in the city’s gardens, parks and popular squares, equitably across the 16 districts. Separate areas for men and women are planned in these toilets. Accessible facilities for people with reduced mobility are also planned, thereby ensuring coverage for all citizens. Access to these public toilets is free.

He further specified that municipalities are responsible for managing services related to sanitary facilities, in accordance with the powers assigned to them in the area of public health.
