Like all countries in the world, Morocco celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8. This is an opportunity to highlight the crucial and essential role of the women not only in the transformation of education but also in the evolution of society.

International Women’s Day is also known as International Day for the rights of women. It is an international day emphasizing the fight for women’s rights and, in particular, for the reduction of inequalities compared to men.

International Women’s Rights Day reminds us that gender inequality is still relevant. This awareness day, which takes place on March 8, sheds light on the status of women around the world and raises awareness of the importance of the fight for women’s rights. This event takes place annually on March 8. Now is the time to reflect on the progress made, to call for modification and to celebrate the determination and the acts of courage of average women who have played an astonishing character in the history of their societies.

International Women’s Rights Day was formalized in 1977 by the United Nations and is still celebrated on March 8 all over the world. It is a day when women around the world are recognized for their achievements and their struggles. Let’s go back to the starting point of this day dedicated to women and their rights.

The origin of March 8, International Day for Women’s Rights

According to a statement by the Socialist Party, International Women’s Rights Day appeared in the 20th century, during social movements in North America and in Europe. It was on February 28, 1909, that the first National Women’s Day was celebrated in the United States. Until 1913, this day was celebrated there every last Sunday of the month.

In 1910, the Socialist International in Copenhagen established an International Women’s Day to pay homage to the movement for women’s rights and their access to universal suffrage. This proposal is approved by a collective of 100 women, all from 17 different countries. But during this second conference, no specific date was decided.

Clara Zetkin, a strong figure of feminism

Moreover, the first conference took place in 1907, on the initiative of Clara Zetkin, editor of the magazine Die Gleichheit (L’égalité), gathering at the time no less than 125,000 subscribers. The latter intends that all socialist women from all countries organize a women’s day once a year in order to encourage women’s right to vote. It was the year after that the first International Women’s Day was born.

On the last Sunday of February 1913 in Russia, on the eve of the First World War, Russian women celebrated their first International Women’s Day with clandestine movements. The following year, it was celebrated on March 2 in France, March 9 in Austria, the Czech Republic, Hungary, Switzerland, and the Netherlands, and March 12 in Germany.

The right to vote for German and French women

On March 8, 1914, German women raised their voices to obtain the right to vote. It is only 4 years later that they get it. Among our French neighbors, 238 deputies out of 591 refuse to grant women the right to vote. Louise Saumoneau and her group of socialist women, organized on July 5, 1914, an event which would, in fact, become the first Women’s Day in France.

In 1917 marks a highlight in the history of Russian women. In fact, that year, two million Russian soldiers died in the war, which revolted them. Despite government opposition, they nevertheless went on strike on the last day of February in order to obtain “bread and peace” but also the return of their husbands who went to war. Four days later, the Tsar ceded power and the provisional government then granted women the right to vote. It is during this same year that the date of March 8 will be definitively set to celebrate Women’s Day.

Women’s rights and gender equality will take center stage in 2020.

This year’s theme for International Women’s Day (March 8) is “I am from the Equality Generation: For women’s rights and an egalitarian future”.

The Generation Equality campaign brings together people of all genders, ages, ethnicities, races, religions, and countries to take action that will bring about a world of gender equality that we all deserve.

On March 8, various events related to women are organized around the world. In many countries, concerts, shows, marches, parades, sporting events, and even exhibitions are offered. The name of this day is also called into question, in order to name it International Day for the Rights of Women. The themes tackled are often the fight for equality between men and women, the promotion of women who have succeeded in various professional fields, the history of women, etc.

International Women’s Day: Opening of a library and the launching of Anouar book club

The Anouar Association for Development and Solidarity (women sector) will celebrate the International women’s day by officially opening a library and launching the Anouar reading club. This event will take place on March 8, 2020, at 10 am.

The comprehensive discussions, as well as the diverse perspective of the members on a particular book, will help children and youth to improve their knowledge and appreciation of the world. They’ll be more motivated to appreciate other cultures, not only through the book but also through interactions among members who have different backgrounds. Anouar Book Club aims to use reading as a way to encourage children and youth to interact with one another, to share reading pleasures, encourage exchanges around books between readers and librarians, and introduce foreign literature.

Like all countries in the world, Morocco celebrates International Women’s Day on March 8. This is an opportunity to highlight the crucial and essential role of the women not only in the transformation of education but also in the evolution of society. On this occasion, the Anouar Association has chosen to celebrate this day to emphasize the need to create an environment conducive to reading for children and young people by setting up and running libraries within the community and opening up the community to its socio-cultural environment.

It is the mother (women) who have the mission of training the citizen of tomorrow, capable of acting, innovating, and building a space for living together in Morocco.

The goal of this campaign is to provide access to specialized medical services for the benefit of the vulnerable population such as Ait Faska. This caravan will allow residents to benefit from medical services in various specialists, thanks in particular to this kind of large-scale social actions, explains Mohamed Dekkak, President of the association. In addition to medical services, the caravan team will also identify cases requiring surgery or continuous medical monitoring, in order to refer patients to specialized hospitals.

Medicines were also given free of charge to beneficiaries of the caravan. In addition, the association plans to organize a caravan similar to the rural commune of Ait Yaddine and that of Kenzra in the province of Khémisset.

Cervical Cancer in morocco

Globally, cervical cancer is the 2nd common cancer in women after breast cancer. Based on the WHO, Cervical cancer caused, in 2005, nearly 260,000 deaths, of which almost 95% in developing countries, countries in which this cancer is the leading cause of death from cancer in the female population. Without rapid intervention, mortality from cervical cancer would increase by 25% in the next ten years. These deaths can be prevented because cervical cancer is one of the easiest cancers to prevent and treat if it is detected early enough and treated properly.

In Morocco, according to the results of the Casablanca cancer register in Morocco, the incidence of cervical cancer was 14 per 100,000 women in 2007 and at the national level each year there are approximately 2,000 new cases of cervical cancer and 2/3 of cancer cases are diagnosed and managed at a very advanced stage in the various oncology centers.

Breast cancer in Morocco

In Morocco, around 30,000 people are affected each year by cancer. Among women with cancer, 34.7% have breast cancer, which represents about 7,000 new cases of breast cancer per year.

It is estimated that three million Moroccan women are at risk of being affected by breast cancer. Their average age is 38 years. Thus, 8 to 9% of women will develop this cancer during their lifetime. Several risk factors have been clearly highlighted. A family history of breast cancer increases the risk by a factor of two or three. Reproductive factors related with prolonged contact to endogenous estrogens, such as late menopause, early puberty or late first pregnancy, are amongst the most significant risk factors for breast cancer. It should also be noted that women who use oral contraceptives or replacement hormone therapy are therefore at higher risk compared to women who do not use them. Alcohol consumption,

This campaign aims to facilitate the population’s access to specialized care services, by making them benefit from specialized medical consultations, to strengthen medical services in Ait Faska and to reduce spatial inequalities in the health field.

The screening campaign will start with the training of health care providers in teaching the practical acts of IVA and colposcopy. The medical campaign will take place on March 13- 15, 2020 at Anouar Association community center in Ait Faska and will be led by specialists trained in the field.

From March 13-15, 2020, the Anouar Association for Development and Solidarity will welcome a medical caravan from the Association of Private Gynecologists at the Ait Faska Center for cervical and breast cancer screening

The medical caravan project of the Anouar Association for the community of Ait Faska is being held on February 7 to 9, 2020, at the Community Center of Ait Faska.

The Anouar Association presents this program that aims to treat all the residents suffering from cataracts and ocular pathologies in collaboration with the Moroccan Medical Association of Solidarity as well as the Ministry of Health, local authorities, and the Moroccan Red Crescent. This operation aims to provide free cataract surgery to residents of Ait Faska.

This humanitarian program consists of specialists, nurses, health representatives, and volunteers from the Association, they are working together to provide cataract surgery for the benefit of the residents. The program aims to fight health inequalities and facilitate access to healthcare for the disadvantaged community of Ait Faska.

This medico-social campaign takes care of more than hundreds of cataract patients from the region of Ait Faska and its surroundings, and the patients receive free medical and surgical treatment provided by the specialist practitioners as well as the volunteers and members of the Anouar Association.

Mr. Mohamed dekkak, President of the Anouar Association, affirmed that the population of the Aït Faska region suffer from cataracts. He also stressed in this regard that the Association, in coordination with the Moroccan Medical Association for Solidarity, will work for the success of this medical caravan program, allowing the vast number of people affected by this illness to benefit from it for the whole duration of the program.

Eye diseases are still a major source of suffering and disability worldwide, particularly in developing countries. In Morocco, significant progress has been made in preventing, controlling, and even eliminating certain eye diseases such as cataracts, constituting public health problems.

What is Cataract?

The cataract is the clouding of the lens. The lens is a converging lens located behind the iris. Its diameter is approximately 1 cm and its thickness 0.5 cm. Cataracts most often occur with age from 60 years, it affects more than one in five people from 65 years, more than one in three from 75 years and almost two in three after 85 years, it causes a gradual decrease in eyesight, and if no treatment is undertaken, the cataract can progress to blindness. The only effective treatment for cataracts is surgery.

What are the risks of such an intervention? Can we prevent cataracts? Can the sun or working on a computer promote the onset of the disease?

The fight against cataracts is one of the priorities of the World Health Organization through the Global Initiative “Vision 2020: the right to sight”, which aims to eliminate the preventable causes of blindness from here the year 2020 and the establishment of an integrated care framework allowing all populations to have a better vision and consequently the improvement of their living conditions.

Cataracts are the leading cause of preventable blindness in Morocco (around 50% of all causes). It is, therefore, clearly identified as the number 1 public enemy concerning eye health problems.

A disease of aging 

A cataract is the clouding of the lens, a lens placed inside the eye behind the pupil, through which light passes. In the normal state, the lens is transparent and allows the image to be focused on the retina: this is the phenomenon of accommodation. Around the age of 40, he lost this property, which led to presbyopia (difficulty reading closely). The clouding of the lens creates a blurred vision. A cataract is a disease of aging; it generally affects people over the age of 65 and remains the third cause of blindness if nothing is done. However, there is also another kind of cataract, known as secondary, which is linked, for example, to diabetes, trauma to the eye, or certain infectious diseases in young children in particular.

What are the signs of cataracts?

Essentially a gradual decrease in far vision that cannot be corrected with corrective lenses, near vision remaining possible for a long time.

Other evocative clinical signs exist: the person is embarrassed by dazzle, which occurs regularly in the evening, the light of the bulbs, or even the headlights of the car.

The examination of the lens with a slit lamp makes the diagnosis and specifies the type of cataract. The diagnosis is, therefore, clinical. The only treatment is surgery. It consists of removing the lens that has become opaque and replacing it with an implant.

Figures that challenge

Concerning the new cases of cataract registered each year in Morocco, we have retained the figures which were presented during the first national congress of implantology and refractive surgery held in Casablanca in 2006. It appears that nearly 50,000 new cases of Cataracts are recorded each year in Morocco for a total population estimated at 30 million inhabitants, while 500,000 Moroccans suffering from this disease are waiting to undergo surgery.

Modern cataract surgery

The intervention consists of removing the opaque lens and replacing it with an artificial lens that takes place in the envelope of the lens partially left in place during the intervention (extra-capsular extraction). This intervention is very developed, is done under contact or local anesthesia. It lasts about ten minutes, is painless, and the view returns quickly.

The intervention is most often done without hospitalization. The implant can be multi-focal, allowing correct vision from near and far.

This modern surgery is practiced in both the public and private sectors. As for the costs of treatment, the price of surgery to treat a cataract varies between 6000 to 9000 dhs. It is important to note that the Ministry of Health has made considerable efforts, during the last 4 or 5 years, by equipping public ophthalmology care establishments with around thirty machines.

The Anouar Association’s action

The management of cataracts poses many problems, including those relating to the neediness of many patients. Many patients end up losing their sight due to a lack of time management. Aware of all these tragedies, Anouar Association mobilizes alongside the Moroccan Medical Association of Solidarity as well as the Ministry of Health, local authorities, and the Moroccan Red Crescent to organize the cataract campaign in Ait Faska region.

The kick-off of a medical caravan, initiated by the Anouar Association will be effective on February 7 to 9, 2020 at the Community Center of Ait Faska.

The residents of Ait Faska will benefit from this initiative under the leadership of Mohamed Dekkak, President of the Anouar Association. He indicated that this caravan aims to raise awareness and contribute to the fight against diseases that are likely to cause blindness. This operation mobilizes a medical staff made up of surgeons specializing in ophthalmology and anesthesia, technicians, nurses and administrative managers.

The objective is to significantly reduce the progression of these eye pathologies which are the cause, not only of the blindness of a good number of individuals but also of impacts on their social and economic lives.

This caravan is part of the social activities of the Anouar association for the environment and development, the aim of which is to examine needy patients and provide them with free care and medication on site.

This medico-social initiative is part of the Anouar Association’s program to combat cataracts and bring health services closer to people in rural and mountainous areas in precarious situations to better meet their needs and improve their accessibility to medical services, through the intensification of visits field of mobile health units for eye consultations and surgeries relating to eye diseases.

Blindness in Morocco: a structural problem

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cataracts are the leading cause of blindness in the world. To effectively combat reversible blindness due to cataracts, 3,000 cataract operations per million inhabitants should be performed each year! A challenge that several countries do not take up, including Morocco.

Indeed, for a population of around 33 million Moroccans, almost 100,000 cataracts must be operated each year. In reality, official figures indicate that only about half of the cases with this eye disease are operated on by the public and private sectors combined. This alarming deficit in terms of cataract operations today concerns around 50,000 cases each year, awaiting a therapeutic surgical act!

The lack of generalized medical cover and the high cost of surgical treatment constitute the major obstacle to the care of patients, especially the most disadvantaged.

Cataracts: A plague among the poorest

Cataracts are a visual disease that is characterized by an opaque (less transparent) lens, which prevents light from passing through the eye, resulting in blurred vision.
The cataract occurs with age, mainly because of aging. It must be operated imperatively, to avoid any risk of losing vision.

Certain factors can increase the risk of cataract attack, in particular, heredity, diabetes, tobacco, old traumas or eye diseases, a diet low in fruits and vegetables, high exposure to UV rays of the sun.
Only surgery can cure cataracts. It is a trivialized and proven operation, through the technique of phacoemulsification extraction: the cataract is emulsified and aspirated by a small orifice, then the opaque lens is replaced by a transparent artificial lens, which will allow you to cover a clear and clear vision.

This technique is a real revolution. It is done under local anesthesia, lasts only a few minutes and allows rapid visual recovery (in a few hours) and complete healing in a month.

The Caravan

This mobile ophthalmology caravan is made up of a medical platform and a surgical platform. A team of doctors, nurses, opticians, technicians, and assistants are also part of the expedition, with a view to:

• Dispensing medical and surgical procedures;
• Practice screening actions in children, the elderly and the population in great precariousness;
• Take preventive actions;
• Ensure an annual follow-up of the patients.

Through this medical caravan initiative, patients who will benefit will also recover their dignity and become independent. They can thus access education, literacy or employment. Better health leads to a reduction in precariousness and poverty.

According to Mohamed Dekkak, this campaign, which is in the spirit of the Anouar Association, translates the values ​​of solidarity and mutual aid that animate all Moroccans.
