On April 28, 2026, Rabat served as the host city for the "Gender Equality and Youth Forum," an event that marked the conclusion of the regional project titled "Gender Equality Issues." This initiative, spearheaded by the Research Institute for Development and the NGO Equipop, has been active over the past two years across Morocco, Tunisia, and Lebanon. The forum brought together a diverse group of participants, including young people, researchers, educators, and feminist organizations, all united under the common goal of advancing gender equality through education, research, and civic engagement. This collaborative effort underscores the commitment of various stakeholders to create a more equitable society where both genders can thrive.
The project has mobilized resources and expertise to foster discussions around gender roles and the importance of youth involvement in the quest for equality. It has highlighted successful strategies and practices that emerged during its implementation, showcasing the significant contributions of various stakeholders in promoting gender-related issues. The forum served not only as a platform for sharing experiences and evaluating the progress made but also as an opportunity to set the stage for future initiatives aimed at sustaining the momentum toward gender equality across the region.
With the active participation of various organizations and individuals dedicated to this cause, the forum represents a critical step toward institutionalizing gender equality in educational systems and public policies in the region. The discussions held during the event are expected to inspire new projects and collaborations that will further the objectives set out by the Gender Equality Issues initiative, ensuring that the voices of the youth and marginalized communities are heard and considered in policy-making processes.
