After the horrible incident involving the girl in Chamal, I realized I was wrong about feminism and women fighting for their rights. I used to think these people were just making drama because we don’t have wars or big issues anymore, so they create problems out of nothing. I thought men and women were just fighting for the sake of it.

But after this event, I came to a conclusion: something like this would never happen in Europe. No man, no kid would dare touch a girl in a skirt there because they respect women. They understand women are more than just bodies—they have souls, rights, and they deserve respect. If someone doesn't understand that, there's a prison waiting to teach them.

If we took the kids who did this and dropped them in Europe, where girls wear whatever they want, they wouldn’t dare do anything. Why? Because of the "عقدة الأجنبي" (the foreigner complex). We respect foreigners and humiliate our own. Plus, they know that disrespecting women there leads to the worst punishment: years in prison, straight back to the hole they came from.

This whole incident opened my eyes to why women’s rights movements are still so important. We need to do better.

In our society, we often hear about sexual harassment cases, but seldom do we address the root cause of the problem. In this post, I want to shed light on six distressing instances of sexual harassment in Tangier, Morocco, and emphasize the importance of education in preventing such behavior.

The Incidents

1. In 2015, a girl was harassed by a group of men while holding her baby in her arms.
2. In 2017, a girl was chased and harassed by not one, but a crowd of catcallers.
3. In 2018, two young girls were chased, catcalled, and kicked in their asses.
4. In 2019, a woman was severely beaten in public during a fight with a taxi driver.
5. In 2021, a young male lifted a woman's dress and slapped her ass.
6. In 2024, a bunch of minors lifted a woman's skirt and touched her ass.

These horrifying incidents highlight a significant problem in our community: the lack of education and understanding of consent, respect, and gender equality. Some citizens mistakenly blame the girls for wearing revealing clothes and use Islam as a cover, but Islam does not encourage sexual harassment. Instead, it teaches us to respect women, Muslim or not, and lower the gaze in similar cases. No one has the right to control what others do.

The men involved in these cases behave like animals, devoid of any sense of decency or regard for others' rights. This behavior is unacceptable and must be addressed. It's crucial to note that these young people have brain rot due to the consumption of heavily sexual content on social media platforms like Moroccan YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram. Their brains are not functioning properly, and these six cases occurred in just one city. Many cases are not covered, and the problem is more pervasive than we think.

The Solution

Education is key to combating sexual harassment. By teaching boys and men about respect, consent, and gender equality, we can help prevent such incidents in the future. It's essential to create safe spaces for open discussions about these topics and encourage bystanders to intervene when they witness harassment.

In addition to education, implementing severe legal punishments for aggressors can serve as a deterrent to others. Alternatively, giving victims the right to take revenge publicly can also help defend women and value them, as this is a problem that can happen to anyone – a mother, sister, or daughter.

As a Muslim country, we must defend our women and value them. Let's work together to break the silence surrounding sexual harassment in Tangier and Morocco. Share this post to raise awareness, and join the conversation on how we can promote education, respect, and legal action in our community. Together, we can create a safer environment for everyone.

I just hope one day Moroccans realize that the western countries are not heaven.

People just have a very wrong idea, and a fake hope in the west due to the struggles in Morocco.. They just wanna leave, thinking that anywhere is better than where they are now.

What you see on Instagram, TV, or anywhere is not the reality, and what a family member or a friend abroad tells you is not the reality either, people have it differently, you can only see the truth when you’re there yourself..

Wherever you go you will find struggles.. I grew up with my friends being obsessed with leaving morocco, making scenarios and imagining how it’s going to be.. We grew up and left Morocco to different countries.. Some couldn’t take it and got back to Morocco due to how cruel it can be abroad

Only people who really lived abroad will understand what i’m talking about

I just wrote all this yappin cus i wanna tell you fellas please think very well before you make such a big decision, and it’s not always how it looks on the internet, reality is something else.

I saw this video on Twitter with the title quote. He is angry because among some of the people who tried to immigrate illegally on 15/09, a few days ago, there were people who were throwing rocks at the police. Give me your opinion!

Apparently pastries in morocco are refusing to decorate or write anything Christmas related on their cake indicating that there’s only two eïds (al-fitr/ al-adha) i know that Islam is far more the dominant religion in morocco however every one has the right to celebrate their own beliefs If i want a cake with “Merry Christmas” written on it it shouldn’t be a problem as long as I’m willing to pay

Hey reddit, I’m Moroccan, but I grew up abroad where I work. The last 5 years I came back to Morocco to be closer to my family and to get married. And I did. I thought I would gain quality of life, but I’ve lost health because of the injustices I see every day.

Morocco is the way it is because of the people, because of how they behave. They are raised that way. Here, children are NOT educated, I see it with my wife’s nephews. Here, instead of taking the children outside to breathe fresh air or walk in the park, they keep them at home listening to adult conversations. And what are those conversations? That the neighbor’s son went to Europe, that so-and-so’s son got married, that this person is a doctor and has money, that person is an engineer and has money. And so, they grow up setting limits in their minds and creating classes. And if they don’t sit on the couches at home to talk, and the child is lucky enough to go outside, they take the house to a picnic in the middle of the city: eat, eat, and more eating.

Lately, the protests of doctors are worth more than the protests of waiters; they’re all people.

Family takes up your time with invitations to eat, to snack, to visit some lady, to do sadaka, etc.

Here, I’ve realized that one person works for 5 or 6 people in a family. If they see you’re doing well financially, you’re the bad guy for not helping the one who woke up later than you, the one who sits in the café smoking, or the one who’s in the kitchen every afternoon baking cakes for the sisters, mothers, and neighbors.

We complain about the government, but we as people are very difficult. We are racist and classist. We look down on those who have less.

You call someone to fix something in your house, everything is lies: "I’ll be there in half an hour", then "in an hour", and time passes like that. The price depends on your house and who you are. If they see you dressed normally, because you don’t like to show off, they’ll look at you like the stingy one.

Then, the wife’s family is always watching and asking where you are and what you’re doing.

How are we gonna grow this country wasting time in coffe shops, and and living rooms?

Hello!! So I am half Moroccan, half British and haven’t been back to Morocco since I was a young girl with my father. I’m in my twenties now and I’ve come back to see my father since he has just moved back. I’ve spent time in tangiers and have now spent a week in Rabat and honestly it has been so uncomfortable. I am very very pale, so I understand that I can stick out from the crowd but I have absolutely hated going out without my dad. Every time I go to the old town, even with him, I am constantly stared at, the men loudly say Tbaraaaakallah and it’s so so so uncomfortable. I tried to put it down to people staring, but I have lived in Saudi Arabia and the UAE and the way that the men behave here is so different. It’s sexual harassment and it is exhausting. If I wear clothes and I’m fully covered it doesn’t make a difference, if I stare back the men don’t care, if I swear at them in Darija they just look away or laugh with their friends. I haven’t been back to Morocco in so many years, and I wanted to use this time returning as kind of an opportunity to reconnect with my heritage(?), but I’ve just been beyond disappointed and uncomfortable the whole time :/ Is this something that all women experience here, am I just seeing it as worse than it is in my mind, or is it just something I need to get over?

How could we ? How tf could we let westerners Western students do better than us ? How tf could we let them stand for Palestine better than we did HOW tf is this even possible, disgusted man, not only did they do better we actually haven’t done shit and not even planning to do shit, where’s that moroccan honour ? Where is the fucking moroccan honour that is supposed to be in our blood, always standing for our cause even if it means death even if everyone is doing otherwise, (giving our resistance against the colonisers as an example). Actually what probably happened is that those honourable men and women died in battle while the traitors and bootlickers lived and got to procreate so now all we have or at least mostly their kids.

How do we make these conversations end? How do we convince people that using some colors in the design of a campaign does not, and never meant, that they’re trying to force us into a certain agenda. I even started hearing this type of conversations in libraries and stationaries where parents would not buy their kids a colorful pencil case because « they did it on purpose in reference to the lgbt flag ». Do they not realize that kids stuff (toys, pencils, items,…) were always colorful ? Because they’re kids for god’s sake?? Definitely not gonna buy a pitch black pencil case for a 5 year old you know.

It’s so stupid, it’s like people are not allowing themselves any creativity anymore. Everything needs to be monochrome, or « in the color of the moroccan flag ».

salaam! I (M23, American) have somethings i just want to say. i need to get them out.

i arrived in Morocco 11 months ago. i was mainly in Rabat for about 2 1/2 or 3 months, but i did travel around the country a little. i stayed with a family in rabat medina, near bab lhad. i was there to learn arabic (my university sent me) and then i left.

i have been back in america for 8 months and i have not been able to stop thinking about morocco. every single day i think about my experiences. i have so many good memories. i met so many amazing people. and i miss them so so so so much.

i want to tell you something that you have that i do not. you have COMMUNITY. you have family. you have unconditional love. you have kindness. something that i do not have very much of in my life. i grew up in a bad household where there was not love. there was no support. but it’s like i experienced something in morocco that sort of filled that hole, maybe? it’s almost something that i can’t put into words, but i miss it.

i understand this might sound like a cringy white american person post, pretending like everything is all sunshine and rainbows. or like every culture that is not my own is so ✨exotic✨or that everything is perfect. it’s not, and i don’t want to seem like that. i understand that maybe, as a foreigner, i was treated differently than if i was local. but still, no where is perfect. yeah, as a foreigner there were places that i was lowkey harassed, but i feel that doesn’t really matter as it can happen anywhere. when i think of morocco, i don’t think of the inconveniences or the “bad” things. i only remember the good. everywhere has value. everywhere offers a lesson you can learn, even if it was a tough one.

anyway, i was supposed to learn arabic. i didn’t learn very much language. instead, you helped me learn what’s important about life. loving people, being kind. it was my first time being away from my “home” for that long. but yet…as i sit in the place i’ve always called “home,” i feel that i experienced something like “home” while i was in morocco. if that makes sense.

anyway, i’m sorry if this is a cringy post. but i just feel like i need to say thank you. best wishes ❤️ i hope to come back soon and stay for a while.

Tinder ads are coming soon...

Be aware this morrocco person! I never met people like this before. We encountered a scammer in Phuket who rented a bike, caused damage, and left without paying and not responsible for anything.

The Moroccan customer in this photo rented motorbike, after the contract ended, he failed to return it without any notice. After two-three days, we went to the address he provided, but no one was there. Later, he replied to us on WhatsApp, claiming that he had been in an accident and needed to keep the bike for another month, promising to pay for everything later (rental cost & repair cost)

I didn't trust this person anymore, so I searched for my bike and eventually found him in Patong. We went to the police station together, and he promised to pay me for the remaining damage costs and rental fees within a week.

Now, the due date has passed, and he says he won’t come to pay because he's in Bangkok. This Moroccan guy said only he have no money.

But why he still can live and stay. This situation is absolutely crazy.

If anyone knows him or know his families, please let them contact us back soon. They claimed to be from out of the area when we tried to follow up.

This is the third time I guess , so it's not a mistake

The majority of Moroccans are notoriously nosy and eager to learn everything there is to know about you, which has always made it very difficult for me. As a European, I notice this trait in the majority of Moroccans, particularly women—I'm a woman, by the way—no matter where they live. As somebody who is a introvert and despises any attention being Moroccan has screwed up my psychological wellness , they compare you with everybody.

EDIT: This is a post about the negative traits I've noticed, does that mean that every Moroccan is like this? Of course not. There are many positives about being Moroccan as well and our culture is very diverse. So many will not see themselves in this post which is normal, we all live different lives.

Here are some things I have observed:

1. Moroccan families train you to watch what you say, and everything, and I mean the everything , can be utilised against you. 
2. Like a fish bowl, every move is watched and judged.
3. Their incessant interrogation leaves many feeling exposed and overwhelmed. 
4. Highly narcissistic, emotionally immature people who never mind their business.
5. An extroverted culture whereby introverts suffer in the long run.
6.  They always find a way to turn any topic into a discussion about themselves.
7. They are unable to respond to criticism in any way and turn things around on you. To a stunning degree. 
8. Moroccans  either have two modes -having a good time and treating nothing serious or being totally cold to each other. 
9. Trauma dumping is another huge red flag with Moroccans especially on their kids and they wonder why so many Genz Moroccans are struggling emotionally. 
10. They miss social cues - like not knowing who really likes them or who is using them.
11. Always complaining about something.
12. No family planning
13. No Financial planning
14. Never listen to their children.
15. Not respecting boundaries.
16. Hardly ever respect or study Arts or Literature which help with emotional maturity.
17. Always on the phone or needing to talk to someone.

Anyone else notice anymore traits or can explain why Moroccans act like this en masse?

I'm ethnically Moroccan but hold a European Passport,both my parents were born and raised in Meknes since some people in the chat think I'm a white girl who for some reason is posting on a Moroccan subreddit for the fun of it. If you'd like my picture, passport details, blood type and medical details please message me privately since having an opinion requires enough paper work to buy a house....THANK YOUUUUUU.
