Months after she visited Morocco to support female landowners, Donald Trump’s daughter and senior advisor Ivanka Trump took to Twitter to congratulate the Kingdom.
Trump wrote, Friday, on her Twitter account that «Morocco committed to changing laws to advance land rights for women and have now legally formalized these major reforms».
Ivanka Trump was referring to the draft decree approved in December by the head of the government Saadeddine El Othmani regarding the laws governing land ownership of female movement «Soulaliyat».
This draft decree provides a series of regulatory measures relating in particular to the procedure for drawing up lists of members of Soulaliyate communities, the conditions required for their representatives and the rules for their selection, as well as the operating rules in these posts.
On my last #WGDP trip, Morocco committed to changing laws to advance land rights for women and have now legally formalized these major reforms!

For the record, Ivanka Trump visited Morocco, in November, alongside the CEO of the Millennium Challenge Corporation, a bilateral United States foreign aid agency, to promote women’s economic development.
Ivanka Trump’s Morocco visit was her third overseas trip to promote women’s economic development through the initiative launched in February. She promoted the same program during previous trips to sub-Saharan Africa and South America.
