Author(s): Fadili Lamiae, Rhouni Raja and Derdar Mohammed

Abstract:

Gender, female labor, and empowerment constitute focal points of scholarly inquiry due to their profound implications for women's lives. Within the context of rural Morocco, where women face distinctive challenges, governmental and NGO-driven empowerment initiatives have emerged to address these issues. Employing an intersectional lens, this article critically examines existing academic discourse surrounding gender, female labor, and empowerment in Moroccan rural areas. Through a systematic analysis, it delves into the manifestations and constructions of gender, the accessibility of employment opportunities for women, societal perceptions of female labor, and the efficacy of empowerment policies designed to elevate women's status within rural communities. By addressing these inquiries, the article contributes to a nuanced understanding of the complexities inherent in gender dynamics, labor participation, and empowerment initiatives in rural Moroccan contexts.
