A laudable intention that has become, over the years, a tradition at MAP which never ceases to value its female capital. Indeed, the Agency tends through this day to pay a tribute to its brave and valiant ladies and to express its deep gratitude and recognition to their daily efforts and their sense of professionalism, insight, self-sacrifice and self-denial.

The function of chief editor Nation is entrusted to Meriem Rkiouak, while the positions of international, regional and multilingual editors are assigned to Karima Hajji, Soumia Arkoubi and Safae Aghoutane respectively.

At the level of the Media Department, the chief editor MAP audio (RIM Radio) is entrusted to Jihan Mourchid, while Sanae Benhammou takes control of the chief editor MAP TV (M24). Meryem Oulad Belmoudden occupies, for her part, the position of editor in chief Archives and animation.
The strength of this institution lies in the fact that the female editorial staff, alongside their male counterparts, plays an essential role in the development and influence of MAP on both a national and international scale.
This day is also an opportunity to shed light on the achievements and expectations of women and testify to the development of female potential within the Agency, while acknowledging their professional capabilities and human qualities.
The celebration of March 08 is part of the new vision advocated by MAP based on modernization, strengthening governance and openness, as well as efforts to encourage women to access positions of responsibility and decision both in central services, in its regional and international offices but also at the level of the administration.
Convinced of the importance of enshrining the gender approach in its development strategy, MAP currently has 193 conscientious, meticulous and highly creative women in its ranks, i.e. 37.4% of its total workforce, with a 36% access rate to positions of responsibility.
For its part, MAP’s Parity Committee, concerned about the well-being of its particularly female staff, has launched “SOS écoute”, a special number dedicated to gathering the views of its staff, women and men, who are going through a difficult period in their professional or personal lives, with the aim of improving the professional environment.
In order to keep pace with the constant changes that the world is experiencing, MAP is constantly working to support its female capital in order to strengthen its leadership and devote the culture of parity, through a hiring policy based on equal opportunities between the two sexes and which ensures to offer women journalists a timely career plan with many promising future prospects.
