The project aims at fostering an effective implementation of Morocco’s legal framework concerning freedom of expression, association, and assembly. H&M implements a transversal approach on gender equality and is consistent with international standards and best practices.
The project’s first component focuses on restructuring an Observatory group created within a previous project called FEEAM. The objective of this group is to ensure a follow-up on violations related to freedom of expression, association, assembly, and gender-based violence in Morocco. Moreover, the Observatory group will mobilize and strengthen CSO’s capacities in advocacy on a national and international level.
The project’s second component aims at strengthening judges, lawyers, journalists and CSOs knowledge on Morocco’s legal framework and international standards on freedom of expression, freedom of press, right to access information, and gender equality, by monitoring the effectiveness of the adopted laws.
