MEDITERRANEAN AWARDS

In 1996, the Fondazione Mediterraneo instituted the Mediterranean Awards (with various categories) that are granted every year to eminent personalities from the worlds of arts and culture, politics and science and social disciplines, whose actions have contributed to reducing tensions, breaking down cultural barriers and developing shared values in the Greater Mediterranean.

This Award is considered one of the most prestigious acknowledgements in the world.

Various events are associated with the Mediterranean Award, such as the “Euro-Mediterranean Concert for Dialogue Among Cultures” and the “Epiphany Concert” (organized by the Cultural Centre “Oltre il Chiostro” in collaboration with the Fondazione Mediterraneo. The latter event is broadcast by RaiUno and Rai International throughout the world every year on the morning of January 6th).

Premio Mediterraneo "Donne"  - 2017
a Fouzia Assouli
Presidente della Fondazione delle donne dell’Euromediterraneo e della Federazione della Lega Democratica per i Diritti delle Donne, MAROCCO

In Marocco, gli attivisti della Federazione della Lega Democratica per i Diritti delle Donne (FLDDF) sono all'avanguardia nel combattere tutte le forme di discriminazione contro le donne.
Fouzia Assouli, il suo presidente, è la figura emblematica.
Dal 1993 la Lega ha incontrato gli abitanti per sensibilizzare l'eguaglianza e la cittadinanza attraverso corsi di alfabetizzazione, centri di ascolto o attraverso "carovane di diritti umani" donne "che vagavano il paese. Non c'è dubbio che numerose azioni sono state preziose sulla strada che ha portato al 10 ottobre 2003: in quel giorno, il re del Marocco, Mohamed VI, ha annunciato la riforma Moudawana, il codice di famiglia, rivoluzionando nei testi, lo status delle donne, sancendo il principio della parità tra uomini e donne.
Militante emblematica dei diritti delle donne in Marocco, Fouzia Assouli e la Federazione stanno combattendo: la lotta contro la violenza domestica, contro il matrimonio dei minori, per una maggiore parità ... Nel giugno 2014 avevano riunito una coalizione femminista per condannare le parole del leader islamista Abdelilah Benkirane che ha ritenuto che il lavoro lasciasse "nessun tempo [al marocchino] di sposarsi, diventare madre, o educare i propri figli. [...] Le case marocchine sono uscite quando le donne sono andate a lavorare ".
Recentemente, la Federazione si sta mobilitando per la decriminalizzazione dell'aborto. "Vogliamo che l'aborto medico sia completamente decriminalizzato, per rispettare il diritto della donna di disporre del proprio corpo, ma anche del desiderio del bambino, spiega Fouzia Assouli. "Una donna che vuole interrompere troverà sempre un modo per interrompere; se ha i mezzi troverà soluzioni in Marocco o all'estero; se è povera, cadrà nelle mani di un ciarlatano.
