Moroccan Activists Launch Campaign to Ban Controversial Virginity Tests
A few days after the launch of the "STOP 490" campaign for the decriminalization of consensual and extramarital sexual relations, Moroccan civil society is engaged in another battle. The Alternative Movement for Individual Freedoms (M.A.L.I) has launched an online campaign aimed at ending the practice of virginity tests and the issuance of virginity certificates in Morocco.
The movement is outraged by the obligation sometimes imposed on Moroccan women to present a certificate of virginity before marriage, which, according to the members, is synonymous with the humiliation of women and their right to privacy. Through this online campaign, the NGO wishes to express its refusal of male domination over the virginity of women. The World Health Organization (WHO) has, in recent years, issued a global call for the banning of virginity tests.
M.A.L.I invites all women to participate in this campaign and say no to this form of oppression. The Movement has high expectations for this campaign and hopes that it will have the same impact on social networks as the one for the decriminalization of consensual and extramarital sexual relations, "Stop 490".
