Two French-Algerian actors and a French-Moroccan snapchatter posted a video in which they «humorously» insult Moroccan children and women. The clip deemed offensive led authorities in Marrakech to open an investigation.
The National Observatory for Children Rights called on Wednesday for the development of a «Children's Code» to «guarantee the 'effectiveness of laws» and protect children against violence and sexual abuse.
While children's rights are «seriously affected» by the global health crisis, Morocco has gained three places in the KidsRights Index compiled by the international organization KidsRights Foundation. The kingdom ranks 3rd in the Maghreb, 6th in Africa and is among the Top10 of the MENA region.
