Houses for men, slums for women
http://www.pambazuka.org/images/articles/516/rkia_bllot_tmb.jpgIn Morocco, women from a number of different ethnic groups experience great difficulties accessing collective land. [mp3], living in the suburbs of Kenitra, 50 kilometres from Rabat, explains to Zahra Moloo how the patriarchal system in place excludes women from accessing land. Bllot says that the while the land belongs to the Hededa ethnic group, only married men have access to land. All the women are excluded - the women live in slums while their brothers live in proper houses.
