This paper explores some discourses and actions oriented to a new conception of the women’s body and the individual liberties that some social Moroccan actors put in place after 2011. On the one hand, it analyzes the impact of social and political activism in urban contexts on the recognition of the formal equality between women and men. On the other hand, it points out the importance of sexual rights in the debates about the gender equality and the ‘right to have rights’. In particular, through the analysis of some political and artistic experiences in Moroccan civil society, it demonstrates the emergence and the importance of gender issues and sexual rights in the struggles for the ‘rights to recognition’. On what basis, against what resistances and within what perspective is it possible to imagine a renewed conception of the female body as an essential axis of the construction of gender equality after 2011 in Morocco?

Abstract

This paper explores some discourses and actions oriented to a new conception of the women’s body and the individual liberties that some social Moroccan actors put in place after 2011. On the one hand, it analyzes the impact of social and political activism in urban contexts on the recognition of the formal equality between women and men. On the other hand, it points out the importance of sexual rights in the debates about the gender equality and the ‘right to have rights’. In particular, through the analysis of some political and artistic experiences in Moroccan civil society, it demonstrates the emergence and the importance of gender issues and sexual rights in the struggles for the ‘rights to recognition’. On what basis, against what resistances and within what perspective is it possible to imagine a renewed conception of the female body as an essential axis of the construction of gender equality after 2011 in Morocco?
