Introductory Note
In September 2013, Morocco decided, at a high level, to adopt of new immigration policy which is more humane and more solidary and in conformity with the provisions of the new Constitution of the Kingdom as well as its international commitments in the field of human rights and migrants’ rights.
One of the main components of this new immigration policy is the regularization of irregular immigrants.
The regularization operations lasted throughout the year 2014. Many of the persons who have benefited from these operations were women and children
Taking this opportunity, the CUDM and the VFMM have chosen to commemorate the International Human Rights Day (10 December) and the International Migrants Day (18 December) by organizing a meeting on “The New Moroccan Immigration Policy and the Regularization of Women and Children: Results and Prospects “, on Saturday 19 December, 2015, from 9 am to 13 pm, in Rabat, at the Bar Association Club, located in Ocean, in Afghanistan street.
