Thursday 07 May 2015 – 06:00 While the pair is trying to find work in the big cities, it is imperative on the wife in the village of Tizi Mister deep in Morocco bear all responsibilities, absence of family breadwinners and makes it a nanny and babysitter employer, responsible for all the details of daily life, inside and outside the home. The women of the village every day after lunch, to walk on foot towards the valley, after he completed the work in the fields, grazing cattle, in addition to doing the laundry in the river and collect your heating firewood. Before all this, women may be finished with their work at home beginning today. In the end, whereupon the women collect wood and crops in packs, and Tdanha on their shoulders and Touselnha to the village, quickly comes time to prepare dinner. Amazigh in this region, women will cost almost everything, including carrying heavy loads. In mealy description of the suffering of the fairer sex in this small village, Iomenh Ait say to the teacher: “It is a difficult life, but all live as much as him,” and, like all older women here, she said Iomenh she can not read or write, and she did not know exactly how old , saying: “This is the life of mountain, it’s good, but so be realistic, we live unless Nchterh”. Here Iomenh wondering abruptly: “I do not understand why men do not bear this heavy burden the region? I do not understand how most of them choose to leave the place where it is without bearing any responsibility for the consequences of that?” After a while, Iomenh look at her granddaughter Samira, aged 12 years, says a tone filled with anguish, “I hope to live a different life, but for that to happen, we would be sent to a distant school, which cost us many expenses.” Tizi awsome families, live on the sale of livestock and crop lands, which are mostly apples and nuttiest and Krza, all that is harvested in summer and sell it, made use of it through the harsh winter. Recently, for example, it was trapped 140 houses, home to a total of 750 people, after the snow for a period of twenty days. “This, too, is a part of mountain life,” says Hassan Bonasr, man with Monday and fifty years, which is considered one of the main characters in the village, as it bears within it multiple responsibilities, he is the cost to call emergency if someone is in danger, or When closed roads in winter because of snow, and it settles disputes. He agreed with those who say that life is difficult in the valley, especially for women, who are all regular Atklvin their duties in addition to the men, who left the place towards the cities tasks. To explain it more, said Bonasr “It started days and since my father and my grandfather, to become this tradition,” adding that “some people here have come to believe that it would be bad for the reputation of the man, if one remained in the village to help his wife.” Why leave men? “There is not here any kind of work, so they go to the cities Comerakesh, Agadir and Casablanca in order to find work,” Bonasr explains that they are working against the sixty or AED seventy per day, which makes their work that does not benefit anyone other, this amount can not be that is useful in anything but ends meet, this “I think it would be better if they stayed here to make this place better.” There are hundreds of similar villages of Tizi Ooam in the Atlas, as is confirmed by the human rights activist Fuad Aker, a member of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (AMDH), who explained that “the men who choose to flee their villages, illiteracy prevalent among women, in addition to widespread poverty in these areas , all the result of years of marginalization, “crowned himself as the spokesman of” Government investment in cities like Tangier, Casablanca and Agadir, in complete forgetting of rural areas. ” Returning to the Tizi Mister, we see Jammu Ait student heading towards cow under one of the apple trees in the valley, and is at the same time her young daughter.

When located outside the village in order to find a job, is it all the responsibilities, and the first of raising her four children, in addition to taking care of livestock, land and crop, “women have to do everything every day,” she says, and adds, “This is why I hope to be able to at least one of my daughters from marrying someone outside the region, in order to live a better life, or you can one of them to take advantage of a good education, something that is hard on us because of the lack Tofferna the money to pay expenses, but we do our best. “]]>
