“An exciting measure of how far Moroccan women have come was the Global Summit of Women held in Marrakech at the end of June 2003. This forum was important for two basic reasons: because so many bright, dynamic Moroccan women were there from business and civil society and because a record number of more than 600 women from eighty countries — with large contingents from the Arab and Muslim worlds — attended the conference, barely six weeks after the terrible suicide bombings in Casablanca.”
