Tourist's Outfit Sparks Harassment Controversy in Moroccan City

Surprised by the street harassment related to her clothing during a visit to Chefchaouen, a tourist cries out in indignation.

Gabi learned at her own expense that intentional nudity and indecency are unacceptable in Morocco. In a video posted on her Instagram account, which has received more than a million views, she claims to have been the victim of harassment while visiting Chefchaouen. According to her, her outfit had attracted a lot of attention. But there was one man who did not just stare at her. According to her account, he also bothered and harassed her.

"I was smiling in the video because I was surprised, found myself alone and was not ready to face this situation," explained this travel enthusiast, who assures that she did not know before her trip to Morocco that it was necessary to conform to a certain dress code. This experience has deeply marked Gabi. According to her, traveling alone is not as easy as it seems, especially for a woman, because there are challenges and uncomfortable situations that accompany the freedom to explore the world on one’s own.
