In Morocco, cinema mistreats women. This is what emerges from a study entitled “Gender-based violence in the cinema sector” presented in Rabat.

80% of Moroccan actresses surveyed say they have been victims or witnesses of at least one case of gender-based violence in their profession, specifies this study carried out by the Association of Mediterranean Meetings of Cinema and Human Rights (ARMCDH). ). They suffer several forms of violence: psychological violence, economic violence, sexual violence. When it comes to sexual violence, actresses particularly described it as the main form of violence. Younger actresses are often the most exposed to sexual blackmail, sexual innuendo or touching.
