Morocco: A Protest to End Forced Marriage After Rape · Global Voices
Amira Al Hussaini

Moroccans are taking a stand tomorrow (March 17) in protest against the plight of 16-year-old Amina Filali, who committed suicide after being forced to marry the man who raped her. Amina's marriage to her rapist was approved by a judge. Her suicide has raised a storm of reactions both on social networks and on the ground.
Moroccans are planning to take their protest to the Parliament at noon tomorrow, in order to draw attention to the plight of women like Amina who are forced to marry their rapists, who also get to escape punishment.

A Facebook page, entitled No to Rape, with the Complicity of the State, states [ar]:
The page also lists the details of tomorrow's sit-in as follows:
1. Meeting point will be in front of the Parliament at noon. This is not a march so we will not move from in front of the parliament.
2. The sit-in is a citizen action organized by independents, they will be identifiable with their T-Shirts (we’ll have additional t-shirts for those who want to acquire them)
3. Posters and flyers with the demands (the demands are available in the about section of this page) will be distributed to participants. You may also bring your signs if you want to.
4. Several prominent civil society activists, NGOs and artists will be participating.
This is our cause, all of us, men and women of Morocco, so be there!
