Morocco: Women’s participation in media programs didn’t exceed 10% in 2013

The participation of women in media programs during the fourth quarter of 2013 did not exceed 8 hours out of 79 hours, that is less than 10%, said on Tuesday Communication Minister, Government Spokesperson Mustapha El Khalfi.
Unfortunately this weak presence still exists, said El Khalfi answering a question by the Justice and Development group at the house of representatives on “improving the image of women in media.”
He recalled the recommendation made in 2012 by the High Authority for Audiovisual Communication (HACA) seeking to amend the law on the radio and TV sector to fight against any prejudice to the image of women and its exploitation in advertisement and shows.
