This International Day of the Girl, WLP had the honor of speaking with Zala Ahmad, advisor to WLP's Cross Border Coalitions Initiative and co-founder of Safe Path Prosperity (SPP), an incredible organization dedicated to empowering Afghan women and girls through menstrual health education and access to essential products.
WLP’s partner in Morocco, the Association Démocratique des Femmes du Maroc (ADFM), has been leading an intergenerational movement to reform Morocco’s Family Code, the Moudawana, since 1985.
In 2004, after decades of advocacy by women’s and human rights groups, Morocco’s Parliament adopted a new Family Code, called the Moudawana. The 2004 Moudawana reform was considered one of the most important family law reforms for women’s rights in the MENA region.
