Moroccan blind association demands more public jobs for disabled people

The Moroccan Association of the Blind and Visually Impaired has urged the incoming government to enhance employment prospects for individuals with disabilities within the public sector. The association specifically highlighted the need to increase the number of positions available through the unified competitive examination designed for people with disabilities.

In a statement, the association emphasized that this unified examination is a key mechanism established by the Moroccan state. Its purpose is to support professional integration and promote equal opportunities, in line with the principles enshrined in the 2011 constitution and Morocco's international obligations. These include adherence to the International Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities.

The call underscores a broader effort to ensure that citizens with disabilities have equitable access to public service employment. The association's appeal aims to strengthen existing measures and create more pathways for qualified individuals with disabilities to contribute to public administration.
