Survey highlights gender-based violence in Morocco's film industry
A new survey from Mediterranean Meetings for Cinema and Human Rights sheds light on the alarming prevalence of gender-based violence in Morocco's film industry.
The study found that 80% of participants had either witnessed or experienced gender-based violence during their careers. The most common form of violence reported was psychological abuse, which often goes unproven due to its intangible nature. Economic violence, such as exploitative contracts and a lack of transparency, was widespread, especially among women working in technical and production roles.
Sexual harassment, including unwanted advances and exploitation, emerged as a serious issue, particularly for younger actresses.
The report also pointed to a lack of professional frameworks and limited awareness of rights, especially among women starting their careers. The findings underscore the urgent need for legal reforms, stronger workplace protections, and awareness campaigns to combat gender discrimination and violence in the industry.
