El papel de las mujeres en el movimiento de familias de prisioneros políticos en el Marruecos de los años de plomo

Abstract

At the beginning of the 1970s, the families of political prisoners, mainly of Marxist-Leninist ideology, united to try breaking the silence about the situation of their relatives and to demand their release. They formed a social movement, mostly integrated by women, upon realization of their relatives’ defencelessness, fostered  by the passivity of most political parties, trade unions and the press in the face of the wave of arrests carried out by the State.
