Malgré les efforts réalisés pour atteindre l’égalité des genres, un long chemin reste à parcourir. Quels sont les efforts entrepris par le Maroc afin de lutter contre l’inégalité des sexes ? Quels sont les défis rencontrés par les femmes en politique en Afrique ? Pourquoi parlons-nous d’ « opportunités » lorsque nous évoquons l’autonomisation économique des femmes ? Quelles ont été les principales conséquences de la pandémie sur les femmes ? Ce sont là quelques questions auxquelles Pr. Nouzha Chekrouni, Senior Fellow au Policy Center for the New South et spécialiste des questions de genre, tente de répondre.

    It was a grey day with a drizzle here and a drizzle there when mourners gathered at St George’s Cathedral in a usually sunny Capetown to pay their last respect to the Arch Bishop Desmond Tutu, the moral force against Apartheid struggle in South Africa was subdued and thoughtful as human beings when death and a rendezvous with eternity have been called.
