Implication des femmes de milieu rural dans le développement local et la protection des ressources naturelles - Cas de la municipalité rurale de Sehoul – Maroc

Abstract

Issues of equality between women and men are today reforms and key issues for any company. Certainly no one today can deny the crucial role of rural women in development and management of the local thing, which is, among other things, the foundation of sustainable development. Today, rural women need for effective integration, a proximity policy to develop their communities; their participation is a prerequisite for the fight against poverty. The following article deals with the problem of interaction between rural women and natural resources through the use of some tools of gender and development including: the division of labor by gender, type of work, participation levels, conditions and situations, and opportunities for transformation, and participatory approach by conducting surveys and participatory workshops in six soils representatives a rural forest "Sehoul" located in the province of Salé in Morocco. It appears from this study that there is an urgent need to improve the living conditions of women and girls in this town by the implementation of integration projects of women based on five areas: literacy, education, training and support economic, and health coverage. And secondly to decrease the pressure on natural resources
