Le blog est utilisé par tous les membres du Groupe de recherche et d'études sur le genre au Maroc (GREGaM) qui est un réseau de jeunes chercheurs en sciences sociales (doctorants et postdoctorants) travaillant sur des thématiques relatives au genre et/ou aux femmes au Maroc. Créé en décembre 2006, ce groupe est rattaché à l'Association des jeunes chercheurs en sciences sociales et développement et domicilié au Centre marocain de sciences sociales (CM2S - Université Hassan II Ain Chock, Casablanca). Ce blog nous permet d'échanger des idées et des informations tout en nous ouvrant à toute autre personne intéressée par la question.

The Social Institutions and Gender Index is an innovative measure of underlying discrimination against women for over 100 countries. While other indices measure gender inequalities in outcomes such as education and employment, the SIGI helps policy-makers and researchers understand what drives these outcomes. The SIGI captures and quantifies discriminatory social institutions - these include among others, early marriage, discriminatory inheritance practices, violence against women, son bias, restrictions on access to public space and restricted access to productive resources.

In Tannoura, West Bekaa, Lebanon – a remote rural town of the Bekaa Valley – where phase II of the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) funded Greywater Treatment and Use Project is being implemented (2006–2008), female beneficiaries have been more affected than their male counterparts by this project."
