    High in the Atlas Mountains in central Morocco are remote villages almost entirely dominated by Amazigh women, a result of the geographical divide between the urban and rural poor, the volatility of Moroccan agriculture and lack of regional development. Their menfolk migrate for long periods to do agricultural or city work in other parts of the country.
    While the absentee men send money back home, the women are left to care for the children, tend to crops and farm animals without any outside support. "Wives can't accompany their husbands," says Fatma Kadjik, from Tiklit village, so married women have to learn to survive on their own.
    In 2005, Morocco began its National Human Development Initiative Support Project with a million dollar budget aimed at improving people's living conditions and reducing poverty. By 2014, the overall poverty rate had been cut by about half, but there's still a large gap between urban and rural poverty. Literacy is also low, especially among girls, who are often unable to continue their education beyond primary school.
    While life expectancy is not much lower than in Europe, harsh living conditions and poor access to healthcare affect longevity. It's a tough life for these resilient women, especially if as young girls they've been married off early.
    "Imagine a girl married at the age of 13 or 14 having three or four children. At 19, she already looks 50. She's no longer beautiful and healthy," points out Saida Oukhali, from Oum Rabia.
    She and her friend Aicha Jadda were both married at 16 but have since divorced, carrying a stigma in this conservative Amazigh society. "We weren't mature enough for the responsibility of marriage," says Saida. "Divorce is a big problem. You're exploited and no longer respected."
    Ignoring village gossip, these young women now express themselves through music and song, where separation, hardship and women's suffering are recurring themes.
    Village women with children have a heavier burden to bear. "We never rest. We keep running all day until night falls," says Fatima Kadjik, who lives with her sister-in-law, Hafida. She describes a typical day: "Hafida and I wake up at 6am to make bread and get the girls ready for school. After, I take the cow to the field to graze. Then we wash the wheat, lay it to dry and prepare lunch. By then the kids are back from school. I give the cow water and take it to graze."
    Her husband, Abdellah Hasbi, acknowledges that this is difficult existence and hopes things will change for the next generation. "I'm worried about the younger generation ... Projects should be launched in this region, to create jobs for young people."
    Men like Abdellah get seasonal work in farming but Moroccan agriculture is volatile and only 18 percent of the country is arable, adding to these people's vulnerability and insecurity.
    While NGOs have stepped in to try and up-skill young people in of these communities - and this is the key to breaking the cycle that locks these women into such an unforgiving way of life. It might ultimately affect traditional Amazigh culture but it would more of the people of the Atlas the chance of becoming more valued members of Moroccan society as a whole.

Back in the day there was no electricity, no sewers, no gas not even a road to the village (you would have to travel by horse through the mountains to get to the village). Today it's different of course. Roads to the village have been build, sewers are presents and electricity is present. But still a tough life.

      @@elena-lc4uk Partly true, partly not. Many of the most crucial natural resources from antiquity, like massive volumes of wood and common metals, were extracted from the north. When resources were taken from the countries you describe, such as oil, they were not "wealth" until such extraction was being done because those populations or their governance did not know how to utilize them, at least for that purpose. Slavery, of course, is a glaring exception as a wealth derived from labor, but that history also centers in the Middle East long before it was a major factor in US or Western European production.

    I am berber, I was born in Rabat but my family is from Tafraout south of Morocco. I have travelled extensively in Morocco because I really love nature so I meet many rural people and camped I their villages and listened to their grievances. One of the major problems they have is lack of jobs in their villages so men have to leave to the city to get a temporary jobs to meet ends need. Argicature is not enough to sustain a family. I think rural tourism could be very beneficial to these people but they training and language skills to communicate with foreign ers. We need to show them how to build small B&B using local and natural resources. They also need schools closer to the villages and better teachers. They can learn a lot from CZcams if they have internet.
    Yes it's challenging but they're can make it they just need little help.

However , I still feel that these people are blessed in way with a pure lifestyle, away from the depraved lifestyle that we have here in the West.

      There are health issues - deliveries often end up in fatalities due to the absence of Drs. and the distance to reach an hospital. Winters are merciless - we bury so many young mothers, infants and elderly folks each winter. The wolves come looming after the freshly buried bodies. Schools are miles away and with poor facilities - broken glass, wide open doors, missing rooms, no toilets...., the closest mills is miles away, no running water inside the home so despite the beautiful setting the children have to wash up in the river and bring water back into the home using plastic bottles. There is no middle school or high school and if so, only boys will be sent away to school. Girls have no options but to be mothers. This is a beautiful setting if you go with the REI gear but not when you have plastic shoes, no winter coat, carrying your toddler on your back to do chores...and never never leaving the village. Do you think these women make money? they struggle to have food on the table - so yes, POVERTY at every step of the way!!!

      @@user-wk2uf5yo7x I sometimes agree with that view. I was a immigrant for 15 years of my life. I had to as there was no local employment. I can say that I was treated better as an immigrant in a foreign land that I would be at home. Not everything is perfect at home either...... but I try to make the best of it.

    What a beautiful document, both the women, the scenery and the story. I really wish there will be some village projects to take on so the men will no need to leave the family and village and travel afar for works. But glad that this document make the world know about the situation, hopefully more charity organizations will start some projects here, all these women are very talented and strong, I am sure there will be a better future for all. Blessings and greetings from Australia.
