Description
Story quoted from a report by BBC's Frank Gardner (news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/864994.stm :
Out in the countryside, 90% of women are illiterate.
"The classic situation is a girl who leaves her family home at the age of six or seven because her family needs the money."
"She comes to work in a big city as a housemaid. She reaches the age of maybe 15 or 16 and the first bloke that she meets who promises to take her away from this awful situation that she's in, she believes him because she wants to."
"She's had no affection from her family for a number of years."
"She will sleep with him. She'll become pregnant. He will abandon her. She'll lose her job and she'll be rejected by her family and she can be followed by the law for prostitution."

You've managed to capture the many faces of Morocco oh so well! :o)

So many cultures and such a difference... things we find acceptible today will be the nightmares of tomorrow. Acts we denounce in one country are fully accepted in another. Hence, the saying, "It takes all kinds to make a world." This is a fabulous capture and very thought provoking words.

Beau portrait de groupe si typique. L'histoire des femmes marocaines est vraiment triste ! Il faut espérer que la situation évoluera ! bonne journée Virginie
awjay
superb capture my friend
Valerie-Ducom
Oh, je suis d'accord avec virginiese même si de nos jours, les femmes de moins de trente ans relèvent le niveau, mais c'est encore loin d'être ça, sans parler des coutumes anestrales sur leur mode de vie... Excellent cliché sur cette vie avec encore de parfaites couleurs ! Bizzzzzzzzzzzz

Merci le zoom. Les femmes du Maghreb sont en général plus difficile à photographier... peur des représailles... les deux du fond semblent t'avoir aperçu et elles ne sourient pas. Superbe photo. Bon WE

Les couleurs sont un peu plus ternes. Est-ce voulu? Pour le cadrage, proposer une plus grande ouverture sur le côté droit, dans la direction du regard et/ou de la pose de ces dames pourrait donner une autre atmosphere car il n'y a rien d'intéressant sue le côté ouvert de ta photo, qui est à gauche dans notre cas. PS: Michel, si tu trouves mes commentaires déplacés, n'hésite pas à me le faire savoir ;o)
