43. Canada's report points out that the data on the participation of women in
public life are not complete enough. Nevertheless, they show that significant
progress has been made in the attainment of political equality, an affirmation
confirmed by the above figures.

44. Morocco's report shows that its women have made recent progress in their
participation in communal and legislative elections (for the first time in 1993
two women were elected to Parliament) and in their access to public posts. Over
the last 30 years such access has gradually improved. The posts occupied by
women, for the most part, are intermediary or junior. The report seems to show
that Morocco is making slow progress towards greater female participation in its
public life. But its efforts are clearly inadequate. Not once does the report
mention "equality".
