This article considers the situation of women in politics and the overall politicization of the 'woman question' in Morocco in its historical context in order to suggest why, despite enormous changes in women's daily lives and roles in society, continued attempts to gain greater rights for Moroccan women and improve their status have been met with strong resistance by certain political groups. Working with interviews conducted with activists during fieldwork in Morocco, I focus on an analysis of two recent sets of events—debates around the Plan for Action to Integrate Women into Development and the Moroccan March 2000 for Women in Rabat and its counter-march in Casablanca—to discuss how the various oppositional positions on the 'woman question' have developed and persisted in Morocco. I argue that unresolved and renewed national conflicts in Morocco, which in part are fueled by the success of transnational feminisms and fundamentalisms, perpetuate the manipulation of the 'woman question' for short-term political gains in such a way that significant progress on this issue has been repeatedly thwarted. I address the tension in transnational feminism between 'universalist' and 'cultural difference' positions as they have been manifested in the Moroccan context and suggest that a way forward involves problematizing both poles of this dichotomy. |
