Association Démocratique des Femmes du Maroc (ADFM) is coordinating the campaign. The King proposed a new nationality law in a speech given in the summer of 2005 and a Ministry of Justice commission has been established to submit proposals to Parliament. ADFM and regional partners are advocating vigorously for a ‘no conditions’ law, which will apply retroactively to pending citizenship applications by children of Moroccan women married to non-nationals.
