INVISIBLE MOTHERS
S Y P N O S I S
Hafida is a single mother in Tangier. She ran away from home when she got pregnant. Some years later, she became a sexual health educator and went back to her city, El Jadida, with her son. The men in her family reject them. Sex outside marriage is a crime in Morocco. The law stigmatizes single mothers as whores and their children as bastards.
