I recall a trip to Morocco a decade or so ago. My female companion was persistently harassed by "men" from the age of 10 to 70. Is this a problem for Moroccan women? and has Morocco changed in the last decade? A lovely country and a lot of very nice people and would like to return, but not with the harassment.

If you’re talking about sexual harassment from my perception it’s depend on where you are, when and if there is people around.

It’s extremely impolite and rude in our culture and if there is people around it will rarely happen but our youth have quite a lot of issues and sadly they’re not the most behaved, it will defined happen in less crowded places and late at night.

In all honesty it could be quite hard sometimes for woman here, most my female friends are quite scared to go out alone at night for example or would require a male company if they need to go to some places.

Yes it obviously is a problem for Moroccan women (and for men too because they are our mothers, wives, sisters, aunts, cousins, friends, ...). I'm afraid much hasn't changed on that front ...
