Women and men are not created equal. They each have their God given strengths, focused on their responsibilities for procreation and family viability. Those differences are not easily dismissed ... however those differences do not condone gender discrimination in society and certainly not in the workplace.

Certainly in our diversity workshops we cover legislation and each company's own internal policies, but our focus is on examining people's perspectives on difference, diversity, change and the attitudes and feelings that are sometimes difficult for people around equal opportunities programmes.

Whether people want to admit or not, we are all prejudiced. We all make assumptions about others that reinforce our stereotypes; indeed we look for evidence to support our biases. We're all guilty of the occasional toss-away line that cuts deep; and we all have intolerant behaviours that are so ingrained we don't even notice we're doing them.

A parent’s example is key. Try to make sure the father of the family is engaged with childcare and household duties. This can be difficult, because most men were not raised to pay attention to household chores or children! When children see that both their mother and father are involved with decision-making and with household duties, they will get the idea that both girls and boys can and should do these things.

Let boys wear beautiful things. Boys’ clothes tend to be really drab from a very young age. You can choose blue, or gray, or more blue, or brown, or more gray, or maybe some red. I try to add color and sparkle to my boys’ apparel. When my older son was four, he told me that “beautiful things are for girls.”

Perhaps such justification seems to be important because even the women themselves appear to have accepted that only men should get certain jobs, particularly in politics. Thus, if a woman qualifies at all to fill their shoes, there has to be much hullabaloo to convince everyone that the male 'standards' haven't slipped, neither will they be lowered and the 'fortunate' woman truly merited carrying the baton of male authority.

They are significantly more visible today in the workplace, in politics as well as in entrepreneurial activities and associative sector. They can be seen in almost every field of activity and Morocco prides itself for having women pilots, judges and even “murshidat”, (religious preachers) a job strictly reserved for men in the past in Morocco, and which is still so in most Muslim countries today.

The women rolled high proportion of job loss, moving to the less-paid jobs, and reduce social protection, including health, technology and safety of children. At the same time, fewer women are involved in the privatization and development of this private sector. Participation of women in revenue also hampered the revival of traditional attitudes towards women.

Gender discrimination promotes unequal access to resources and opportunities, sexual violence, practice of unprotected sex, women trafficking and women’s paltry representation and participation in social development activities. All of this result in power disparities that characterize personal relationships between male and female undermine the development of not only women but also a nation to a great extent.
