Kalima ( French: Word; the act of Speaking) was a monthly women's magazine and news magazine published in Morocco between 1986 and 1989. The magazine was a feminist publication and the first women's magazine in the country. [1]
Kalima was established in 1986. [2] The founder was a radical women organization, Union de l'Action Feminine. [3] The publisher was Nourreddine Ayouch. [1]
The magazine's goal was to emphasize that "gender roles, sexuality, and even division of labor were neither divinely prescribed nor ordained by nature, but had a historical origin." [2] It adopted a progressive feminist stance in dealing with social, economic, political and cultural aspects of women's life. [4] It also addressed critical issues in Morocco, [5] [6] including abandoned children in the country. [7] It was the first Moroccan magazine which contained articles on taboo subjects such as abortion, child prostitution, single mothers, drugs and sexuality. [8] [9] In addition, Kalima included pages on news and on cinema. [10]
The founding and only editor-in-chief of the magazine was Hind Taarji. [4] [11] Fatima Mernissi was among the contributors of Kalima. [12]
The Moroccan authorities confiscated the March 1989 issue of the magazine [5] which contained articles about male prostitution and the lack of free press in Morocco. [4] [8] These publications led to the closure of the magazine on 25 April 1989. [13]
