While several other Moroccan women in Huleva denounce abuses, Employment and Vocational Training Minister Mohamed Yatim hails the sending program. The latter allows several Moroccan women to work in Spain’s strawberry fields through seasonal contracts.
In May, several Moroccan women broke their silence, speaking out against alleged sexual and labor abuses in Huelva’ strawberry fields. Yabiladi was able to contact one of the Moroccan farm workers who were able to flee a farm in Southern Spain and lodge a complaint against her alleged aggressor.
In a meeting held by the Commission for Social Sectors in the House of Representatives Mohamed Yatim spoke about the Huelva Gate. Before promising to better the working conditions of Moroccan strawberry pickers in Spain, he downplayed complaints filed against farm-owners.
