Morocco celebrities back campaign for women rights

In Morocco, a fresh social media campaign has been started to draw attention to rights abuses against women.

Eight Moroccan women celebrities are featured in the campaign, which coincides with the nation's consideration of judicial reforms, as they describe their experiences as rape, forced marriage, and inheritance inequality victims.

A report on what it claims are discriminatory policies against women in Morocco is scheduled for release by a coalition of feminist organizations the following week.
