摩洛哥坚果油合作社为农村妇女赋权
In the stony foothills of Morocco’s Anti-Atlas mountains, twisted argan trees have offered shade and a golden oil for centuries. Local Amazigh women always gathered the fruit, cracked nuts by hand, and pressed oil for cooking and cosmetics. Yet the full economic potential remained locked—until a quiet revolution began.
Over the past two decades, hundreds of women-led cooperatives have sprung up across the Souss-Massa region. These collectives pool resources, share equipment, and guarantee fair wages, bypassing middlemen who once took most of the profit. In a Tiout village cooperative, forty women sit in circles, tapping stones to break shells—a skill passed down the maternal line. The modest income pays for school fees, healthcare, and a voice in household decisions.
