Behind Walls: Girls' Education and Daily Life in Rural
Morocco
Photographs by Amy Thompson Avishai

dormitory grounds, 2004. Photo by Amy Thompson Avishai
The Dar Taliba is a girls' dormitory located in
southern Morocco, in El Hanchane, a small dusty town between the tourist spots
of Marrakesh and Essaouira. Because of economic limitations and cultural
traditions, up to ninety percent of women in rural Morocco are illiterate. Dormitories
like these have been built across the country as part of a national initiative
to help girls in remote areas receive a secondary education.
"I wanted to take an intimate look at the everyday lives of ordinary
girls who were taking part in this historic process. I also hoped to
reconnect with the country where I had lived for years as a young girl,
when my father served as the U.S. military attach� to the Muslim nation."
