## Women's Push for Parity in Moroccan Parliament Gains Momentum

As Morocco gears up for legislative elections in 2026, calls for greater female representation in the House of Representatives are reaching a fever pitch.  The Istiqlal Party’s women’s wing is spearheading the charge, proposing a significant increase in the percentage of women serving in Parliament. 


**Boosting Representation to One-Third**

The party is calling for a jump from the current 24% female representation to one-third of all parliamentary seats as part of a comprehensive policy document slated for release soon.  This proposal reflects a growing demand for gender parity within Moroccan politics.
