Women in religious public policy in Morocco and Algeria: the murshida al-dīniyya

Islam, Women, Murshida, Algeria, Morocco, DiasporaAbstract
As part of the religious reforms carried out in Algeria and Morocco in 2002 and 2004, women began to join official training and orientation structures thanks to the creation of the murshida al-dīniyya figure. Using the traditional role of North African women in religious education and training as justification for this change, the Ministries of Religious Affairs now have female civil servants who perform functions similar to those of their male counterparts. This article analyzes the creation of these female civil service categories and the academic training required, in a context in which the control of religious discourse and popular religious beliefs is becoming increasingly important in these countries, both in relation to migration and as part of public diplomacy.
