CASABLANCA, Morocco — Though Morocco has made some progress on the women's rights front, the subject of equal inheritance apparently has very little support from the general public. Nonetheless, the topic recently was raised before Morocco’s coalition government, headed by the Islamist Party of Justice and Development.
The Party of Progress and Socialism issued a statement Dec. 10, Human Rights Day, calling for equality in inheritance. This follows several efforts outside the legislature to raise awareness of the issue. In March, public personalities signed a petition seeking equal inheritance for women.
