    About the program

    Work alongside Moroccan NGOs in Rabat on women's rights, literacy and advocacy — running discussion groups and supporting day-to-day casework.

    Morocco has moved faster than most of the region on women's legal rights, but the gap between what the law allows and what women can actually reach remains wide — particularly around literacy, employment and domestic violence.

    About the program

    Morocco has moved faster than most of the region on women's legal rights, but the gap between what the law allows and what women can actually reach remains wide — particularly around literacy, employment and domestic violence. The NGOs you will be working with in Rabat operate squarely in that gap.

    The work splits between direct contact and the unglamorous back-office effort that keeps small organisations running. On the first side you will help with literacy and skills classes and take part in focused group discussions designed to build confidence and agency among women who have rarely been asked their opinion. On the second you will assist staff with advocacy work, campaign material, policy input and plain administration — the tasks that get squeezed out when a team is small and stretched.

    Depending on the organisation you are placed with, the subject matter can take in reproductive health, land and inheritance rights, and domestic violence. It is frank and occasionally heavy work, and the local team supports you through it.

    You work weekdays and your weekends are free. Rabat is an easy city to be based in — coastal, walkable and far calmer than Marrakesh — and the train line puts Casablanca, Fez and Chefchaouen within reach for a couple of days away.
