\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 “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.\u00a0 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 \u2014 with large contingents from the Arab and Muslim worlds \u2014 attended the conference, barely six weeks after the terrible suicide bombings in Casablanca.”\u00a0<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n
