INSAF
INSAF fights against the social exclusion of single mothers and protects abandoned children, striving for a society that guarantees rights for every woman and child in a dignified environment. Since extra-marital sex is illegal in Morocco, many babies get abandoned or left to die at birth.
The Casablanca-based NGO supports the mothers with legal, medical and psychological assistance, as well as shelter, and helps find jobs for pregnant women. It also seeks to ensure girls attend school rather than work as child domestic workers.
