''Femmes du Maroc'' (meaning ''Women of Morocco'' in English) is a French language monthly women's magazine published in Casablanca, Morocco. ==History and profile== ''Femmes du Maroc'' was first published in November 1995. The magazine is published by the Moroccan publishing house Caractères and directed, together with ''Nissae'', by the Moroccan journalist Aïsha Zaïmi Sakhri, known for her strong support of women's rights.〔(La Vie Eco, 8 July 2005 )〕 Its first editor-in-chief was also Sakhri. The magazine has a large fashion and beauty section, besides other sections such as psychological advice aimed mainly at working women, advice for a more pleasurable sex life〔(Volkskrant ) 1 June 2008.〕 and, since 2004, a small section called 'celibattante', which translates loosely as 'unmarried and proud of it' breaks the taboo of considering sexual relations only inside the marriage framework. The monthly considers itself a feminist publication with a clear aim of changing the situation of women in the Moroccan society.〔(''La Gazette du Maroc'' ) 18 October 2004.〕 The magazine covered critical articles in the 1990s on sexual exploitation, domestic violence and harassment at schools against women.〔 (Pdf. )〕 In addition, the magazine offers long interviews with politicians, artists and activists and features articles that often criticize the patriarchal aspects of society. ''Femmes du Maroc'' launched signature campaigns asking for legal reforms. It also sponsors ''Caftan'', an annual commercial fashion event.〔(Tel Quel Nº 246 )〕 In 2007 each issue sold around 13.500 copies,〔(OJD Morocco )〕 which made it the most widely read monthly French language magazine in the country. It has an Arabic sister publication, ''Nissae Min Al Maghrib'', which sells more than twice as much. Other Moroccan women magazines include ''Citadine'' ("''Citizen''" founded in 1995, with 8.000 copies sold), ''Ousra'' ("''Family''", in Arabic) and ''Parade'', all of them published in French,〔(TelQuel Nº 263 ` )〕 and ''Citadine'' (Arabic version, around 5.600 copies sold), ''Lalla Fatima'' (around 34.000 copies), and ''Nissae Min Al Maghrib'' (around 36.000 copies), in Arabic language.〔(OJD Morocco )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Femmes du Maroc」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
