The tragic case of a 17-year-old girl giving birth outside Khénifra's regional hospital has sparked public outrage and prompted a protest by the Moroccan Association for Human Rights, demanding accountability and a thorough investigation. As authorities probe the incident, questions arise about the hospital's conduct and the "pay first" policy that may have contributed to this preventable tragedy.
In its annual report for 2023, the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH) confirmed that the human rights situation in the country has not improved, despite the Moroccan government's commitments to international treaties and conventions. The report, which addresses a range of violations in fundamental human rights areas, shows significant deterioration in civil, political, economic, and social domains.
