The majority of girls in Moroccan far villages leave their school classes after finishing primary school levels…since they are attached with ménage…they stay at their homes until somebody comes to marry them. But some girls from open-minded grounds are lucky to finish their studies in near cities.

It’s obvious, by looking to this picture, that these women have lost all their female body details, because of the hard work they do all the time. Those axes they carry say everything…they get up before everybody, take their breakfast and some provision for their lunch… and they ascend mountains looking for woods, they stay there until late evening…they come back bearing a huge pile…they are all covered by the huge quantity of wood, only their skinny legs are seen. This wood will be enough for the two coming days..But the labor is not over. Next morning they must go to look for herbage for their cows and rabbits…

Sometimes when men come from the Souk riding a truck they bring with them many heavy things…so women are called to curry this things to their homes… and nobody intercepts…When you ask questions about this phenomenon everybody seems to be gaped…about your disapproval.

Though women do all the heavy work still they have the authority to decide in big topics…they can accept or refuse someone who asks to marry their daughters…also when there are conflicts about heritage or about their water part..it’s them who butt.
