The HCP note, based on the National Survey on Household Perception of Certain Aspects of the Sustainable Development Goals (2016), concerns different aspects of parity, particularly in the areas of education, employment, social and political responsibilities, as well as domestic tasks.
It reveals that the perception of gender equality is largely influenced by cultural and social factors. Moroccans believe that inherited traditions play a key role in perpetuating inequalities.
However, they also recognize that education is a fundamental lever for reducing these disparities, particularly in the areas of work and access to responsibilities. As for the question of inheritance, it remains a very controversial subject, with strong opposition to the idea of parity.
