“Technology and digital spaces expand opportunities for rights and freedoms, but they can also become tools for widespread violence and human rights violations. Digital violence is one of the most dangerous manifestations of the structural discrimination faced by women and girls.”
— Ms. Amina Bouayach, CNDH Chairperson 

Launched in Dakhla on Thursday, November 27, the national caravan against digital violence targeting women and girls is continuing its journey across Morocco. Today, Saturday, November 29, the caravan arrives in Laayoune for its second stop. This nationwide initiative will travel through 12 regions, 12 cities, and 36 locations (including universities and public squares) creating opportunities for interaction, dialogue, and awareness-raising around digital violence.

The caravan is part of the 2025 national campaign “Speak Out against Gender-Based Violence” (Mansktoch Ala El Onf) led by the National Human Rights Council (CNDH). The campaign highlights digital and technology-facilitated violence as real violence and a silent pandemic threatening society.

Through this caravan, the CNDH aims to create safe spaces for discussion, raise awareness about the various forms of digital violence, inform citizens of their rights, and encourage reporting as a vital step toward justice and the fight against impunity.

For this year’s campaign, the Council presented a human rights–themed mapping projection on the façade of its headquarters in Rabat, using visuals to depict digital violence and its psychological and social impacts. Furthermore, Mahaj Riad Square has been hosting an exhibition dedicated to violence against women and girls since November 26. The exhibition will later move to Mohammed V Avenue (in front of Parliament), and to Rabat-Agdal train station.

The campaign is grounded in alarming statistics: 1 in three women experiences violence, and over 1.5 million women in Morocco have been victims of digital violence, with many cases going unreported.

Through the caravan, mapping projection, interactive exhibitions, brochures, motion-design videos, and AI-generated testimonies, the CNDH’s nationwide initiative seeks to raise public awareness, break the silence, and convey a clear message: “Digital violence is real violence. Silence amplifies its harm. Reporting is the path to justice.”
