Since the dawn of history, Moroccan women have always been distinguished by their authenticity and ethical quality as well as their customs and great traditions.

Moroccan women have always been absolutely the major concern and a central shared object of interest by all, and guided by the affection of His Majesty the King Mohamed VI, the Heir of his father, the Glorious King Hassan II Women have been at the head of those who appreciate the real value of this noble being. And thanks to whose Majesty's generous initiative; the National Union of Moroccan Women was established in 6 May 1969. This strong and immemorial institution has expanded its activities in all the Kingdom's provinces in order to reinforce women's being and make them achieve a very honourable level.
