El Amane Association for Women and Children
Empowering Women, Children, and Youth for a Better Future

Our History

El Amane Association for Women and Children, founded by Halima Oulami in 2003, it defends the rights of women and girls in the Sidi Youssef Ben Ali neighborhood. Mrs. Oulami began by offering legal and human rights training, along with professional sewing training, to 70 out-of-school girls. This training aimed to empower these young women.

Faced with initial resistance from local authorities, Mrs. Oulami persevered and officially registered the association, which has become a model for other organizations fighting for women's rights in the region.

Hope—Strength— Future

Our Mission

In Morocco, the issue of violence against women is widespread, and there are many victims, even though statistics are lacking. A significant number of women experience various forms of violence, whether physical, psychological, sexual, economic, or legal.

Morocco has made significant progress in human rights by ratifying several international conventions and aligning national laws with international principles and agreements. Unfortunately, Morocco has yet to establish a specific law against violence against women.

Through its advocacy work with local and national public authorities and its daily activities with women victims of violence, the El Amane Association for Women and Children ensures the prevention and awareness of all the dangers they may face.
