“In accordance with the High Directions of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, child protection is at the heart of the government’s concerns,” she underlined, noting that “Morocco has made significant progress in this area, notably thanks to a strengthened legal framework and the establishment of an integrated national strategy for child protection.
According to the minister, this strategy, which is in line with the new development model, aims to “strengthen the resilience of families and offer children a protective and fulfilling environment”. It is based on a global and multisectoral approach, involving all the stakeholders concerned, from families to institutions, including schools and the media.”
