Resilience in Resistance, The Struggle of Sahrawi Women Under Moroccan Occupation
2024Støttekomiteen For Vest-Sahara
The report also goes further, framing violations against Sahrawi women through a new lens: what happens when an occupying power weaponizes the conservative, patriarchal norms of the people it occupies in order to force women to cease their activism? While it does not document all violations committed against Sahrawi women (there are excellent reports that cover much more ground in this aspect), this report focuses on violations perpetrated by Morocco against women specifically because of their gender and standing in their society, and with the purpose of coercing them into abandoning their activism.
