Morocco's Village Superwomen | Al Jazeera World

High in the Atlas Mountains in central Morocco are remote villages almost entirely dominated by Amazigh women, a result of the geographical divide between the urban and rural poor, the volatility of Moroccan agriculture and lack of regional development. Their menfolk migrate for long periods to do agricultural or city work in other parts of the country.
While the absentee men send money back home, the women are left to care for the children, tend to crops and farm animals without any outside support. "Wives can't accompany their husbands," says Fatma Kadjik, from Tiklit village, so married women have to learn to survive on their own.
In 2005, Morocco began its National Human Development Initiative Support Project with a million dollar budget aimed at improving people's living conditions and reducing poverty. By 2014, the overall poverty rate had been cut by about half, but there's still a large gap between urban and rural poverty. Literacy is also low, especially among girls, who are often unable to continue their education beyond primary school.
While life expectancy is not much lower than in Europe, harsh living conditions and poor access to healthcare affect longevity. It's a tough life for these resilient women, especially if as young girls they've been married off early.
"Imagine a girl married at the age of 13 or 14 having three or four children. At 19, she already looks 50. She's no longer beautiful and healthy," points out Saida Oukhali, from Oum Rabia.
She and her friend Aicha Jadda were both married at 16 but have since divorced, carrying a stigma in this conservative Amazigh society. "We weren't mature enough for the responsibility of marriage," says Saida. "Divorce is a big problem. You're exploited and no longer respected."
Ignoring village gossip, these young women now express themselves through music and song, where separation, hardship and women's suffering are recurring themes.
Village women with children have a heavier burden to bear. "We never rest. We keep running all day until night falls," says Fatima Kadjik, who lives with her sister-in-law, Hafida. She describes a typical day: "Hafida and I wake up at 6am to make bread and get the girls ready for school. After, I take the cow to the field to graze. Then we wash the wheat, lay it to dry and prepare lunch. By then the kids are back from school. I give the cow water and take it to graze."
Her husband, Abdellah Hasbi, acknowledges that this is difficult existence and hopes things will change for the next generation. "I'm worried about the younger generation ... Projects should be launched in this region, to create jobs for young people."
Men like Abdellah get seasonal work in farming but Moroccan agriculture is volatile and only 18 percent of the country is arable, adding to these people's vulnerability and insecurity.
While NGOs have stepped in to try and up-skill young people in of these communities - and this is the key to breaking the cycle that locks these women into such an unforgiving way of life. It might ultimately affect traditional Amazigh culture but it would more of the people of the Atlas the chance of becoming more valued members of Moroccan society as a whole.

Im a simple guy. I see Morocco i press like.
Beautiful people, rich cultures, hardworking responsible women and healthy society from all dirty things new civilization brought like drugs. They live in a beautiful country. What they need is just job creation in their own area, and a little development. The women in this community is the backbone of this beautiful culture. May GOD bless you in happiness, wealth and peace.

the way woman sing is the way the Kurds sing. Very similar to the Kurdish music. This is amazing. Love my Amazigh brothers and sisters ❤💙 May Allah bless and help them. Insha'Allah everything will be good for Amazigh people.
When compared to the poor in urban areas, the dwellers of slums and shanty towns in many parts of the world, poverty in Europe, the homeless in US; these villagers are so blessed.The almost pristine condition, fresh air & water, children running free, healthy livestocks, security, no substance abuse; there are so many things enviable. Hope they will be spared from greed, corruption and the evil of modernity. Thank you for this beautiful documentary.
Interesting point
I agree with your comment 100%.
💯pct agree with you
alelambert888 they have more blessings than those living any places in the USA.
That's great. But life for these women is very hard . 😩
Today aicha and saida became well known singers in Morocco... I enjoy every time I hear their voices... reminds me the high mountains of Rif were I spent my childhood and witnessed the pauverty but I also learnt how to survive and face life. I miss Morocco so much...
What's the name of the song please
Superwoman they're!!! Me being of amazigh decent, and knowing my own dear mom has lived a life like these women breaks my heart. No government aid or schools to help build different lives. What a shame and a neglection of people. Thank you Al Jazeera for showing the other side of the medal. Morocco is not only the buzzing Marrakech.
These woman makes me guess that they are as righteous as prophet's family. Aren't they? Lot of respect!!!!

Thanks from Morocco.
Im from Middle Atlas, i was about to cry. These are our brave and hardworking berber women. Im proud of my imazighen people and my roots, and I think every moroccan and nothern african should be proud of the berber culture. Thanks Al-Jazeera for showing this. We need to improve the conditions of our people and make Tamazgha great again
I like that. "Make Tamazgha Great Again".
Distenius ATLs love the Slogan MTG “Make Tamazgha Great” again
Too bad the Moroccan regime tries to wipe out the Amazigh identity and force feed this so called Arab identity.
The Amazigh people of the Rif region are doing what they can to stop this Amazigh murder. The Amazigh for the south region should join the Riffians in order to get Tamazgha back again.

Hello
I do not know how I found and ended up watching this documentary. But this makes me proud and brought me tears.. As a Moroccan, originally from the northen regions, and living in a foreign country for several years, I can say that I never seen such reportage in our local/national medias, not with such authenticity and with real people's emotions ... Thanks you
your traditional singing is amazing! i love the sound of your language
i'm hmong, and we have a similar tradition. i'm a musican and i can hear some of the similarities.
in my culture's singing, they love to start the song with the long high sustain note. we don't have many trills
but I know there is alot more in common than not.
God Bless You and your culture!

I lived 18 years in morocco, i've never got the chance to witness this, it's an entire different world from living in big cities !
Very true, same here.
I was born in Morocco, I moved out at the age of 22 and I never seen this places.. I actually don't know a lot about my country which is a shame
Awilie. Kifesh? Even tourists visit these places 😑 I was born and raised in The Netherlands and most of my familie from both sides live in the High Atlas Mountains, part live in Marrakech and other cities but the majority still going strong in the mountains 🤣 I always travel to visit my family in the mountains. Back in the day there was no electricity, no sewers, no gas not even a road to the village (you would have to travel by horse through the mountains to get to the village). Today it's different of course. Roads to the village have been build, sewers are presents and electricity is present. But still a tough life.
I lived and visited big cities city in morocco too, its more worst too, at least these women are been great mothers.
THE WOMEN WHO SPOKE AT LAST SHE IS AMAZINGGGG AND HER BELIEFS IS MORE STRONGER AND LOOK LIKE SHE CAN EVEN MOVE A MOUNTAIN IF SHE WANTS TOO..RESPECT FOR ALL.BLESS YOU ALL, ITS GOVT FAILURE BUT RICH COMMUNITY SHOULD HELP POOR PEOPLE IT CAN WORK TOO.

Culture makes the difference.
But "for the mothers" who take care and love their family is precious. No matter what culture. Thanks to the mothers.
☕👍
it is precious for every mom to take care of their families and kids, but if you read and listen to these women, they are complaining , they are struggling, they feel alone, they complain on the fact that they spend everyday in hard work and its depressing for them, they are human beings too
It ended beautifully on the call to prayer and this reminds us is only a trip: short for some, long for other, but in the end the trip ends and we all return to our creator! Lord have mercy on us!
Thank you Aljazhera for this. Here we are in Scotland moaning about what we do not have, never thank you for what we have. We have so much. Too much. The waste, the greed, the upset for so little: traffic jams, boyfriend not looked at the new hair do, credit cards, cars and pollution, but we have hospitals and doctors, phones, water at the taps. Then we mistreat our bodies, minds with rubbish. We have jobs or benefits and pensions to care for us. We are scared of nature. Scared of hard work , manual work for which we recruit foreigners , we moan however about them for being there.
What an insightful comment Miss Christine.May you be a force for good in this world and to your family with such a humble ,sincere heart .

Yes, but there you have the men staying around you most of the time. The life in this video is so much better, so much more ideal, than any in Scotland or elsewhere in the West because the men are gone and keep to themselves. This eliminates most social problems even if the price is early "marriage" and hard work. At least they're mostly gone.
Yes we have to know that the wealth originally came to Europe from the ravaging of Black and Brown countries. And do these people benefit?
@@elena-lc4uk Partly true, partly not. Many of the most crucial natural resources from antiquity, like massive volumes of wood and common metals, were extracted from the north. When resources were taken from the countries you describe, such as oil, they were not "wealth" until such extraction was being done because those populations or their governance did not know how to utilize them, at least for that purpose. Slavery, of course, is a glaring exception as a wealth derived from labor, but that history also centers in the Middle East long before it was a major factor in US or Western European production.

I am berber, I was born in Rabat but my family is from Tafraout south of Morocco. I have travelled extensively in Morocco because I really love nature so I meet many rural people and camped I their villages and listened to their grievances. One of the major problems they have is lack of jobs in their villages so men have to leave to the city to get a temporary jobs to meet ends need. Argicature is not enough to sustain a family. I think rural tourism could be very beneficial to these people but they training and language skills to communicate with foreign ers. We need to show them how to build small B&B using local and natural resources. They also need schools closer to the villages and better teachers. They can learn a lot from RUclips if they have internet.
Yes it's challenging but they're can make it they just need little help.

Poverty and wealth should not only be measured in dollars. These people live in an amazing environment, have incredible family bonds, love their children, and eat wonderful food. I do see a problem of family separation, though, with the men having to leave to find work; but poverty?
There are health issues - deliveries often end up in fatalities due to the absence of Drs. and the distance to reach an hospital. Winters are merciless - we bury so many young mothers, infants and elderly folks each winter. The wolves come looming after the freshly buried bodies. Schools are miles away and with poor facilities - broken glass, wide open doors, missing rooms, no toilets...., the closest mills is miles away, no running water inside the home so despite the beautiful setting the children have to wash up in the river and bring water back into the home using plastic bottles. There is no middle school or high school and if so, only boys will be sent away to school. Girls have no options but to be mothers. This is a beautiful setting if you go with the REI gear but not when you have plastic shoes, no winter coat, carrying your toddler on your back to do chores...and never never leaving the village. Do you think these women make money? they struggle to have food on the table - so yes, POVERTY at every step of the way!!!
If no light water or food is not poverty, then I must be mistaking of what poverty means.
I totally agree with you, greeting from Morocco.

تحية مصرية لاخواتنا المغربيات الامازيغيات .. الواحدة منهم بألف راجل مجتهدات وصابرات .. اخوكم من مصر
With fantastic strong women like that their country has a great future. Like my own country, things do slowly improve for women. It has taken us Irish almost 100 years since independence to begin to get it right. The 1st 50 years in my country were very tough for women and the men also with emigration being the only outlet.
Immigration is hard extremely hard
.....hope all is well in Morocco. I had the good fortune of visiting your beautiful country in 1986.
@@HeritageExplorer thank you so much abd let me tell you visited morroco at the right time I wish I experienced that time but I was born a decade later
@@HeritageExplorer What I meant by immigration is hard is that it rip us from the land of our ancestors I do believe that people have a spiritual connexion to the land and by immigrating you are ripping this important tie.
@@user-wk2uf5yo7x I sometimes agree with that view. I was a immigrant for 15 years of my life. I had to as there was no local employment. I can say that I was treated better as an immigrant in a foreign land that I would be at home. Not everything is perfect at home either...... but I try to make the best of it.
Masya Allah... I am sending prayers to these superwomen and May Allah keep them in strengths and Good health. Aameen
Im Zimbabwean and don't understand their language but the songs these women sing touched me deep in side , may they be blessed
@The_Genius007There’s also Khenifra, Khemisset, Meknes, etc.
Her voice. I have heard the song before. So touching 🌺
Life in villages involve hard work..people sleep rarly wake early work and remain physically fit..these people.are.more happier than their urban peers..i see so much love and family ties..everyone taking care of each other..so beautiful and heartwarming to see this way of life..god bless them
Living near that water source, surrounded by mountains and hills all that natural richness...I don´t think that´s poverty I think it´s a blessing.
You should go try it....you need to carry all the water upward when you need to use the bathroom, wash the dishes, ....etc....beautiful but challenging..winter is a different story
Oh yes I´m sure it is tough when it comes to carrying water, trust me I know first hand what that´s like. Been living in a small rural town in Mexico since 2008...greetings your comments are welcomed!
Every part of this world has its own problems and situations. I found this beautiful
