CASAS’ member Fayrouz Yousfi has published this article in Kohl: a Journal for Body and Gender Research.
Abstract: The word al-‘Ucha in Arabic refers to a tent, and it refers to the makeshift camp that workers establish during labour disputes, strikes, and occupations in Souss Massa, southern Morocco. During these occupations, women either mobilise for their rights to fair labour conditions or to fair compensation in case they are laid off. This article shows that al-‘Ucha has significant meanings for the workers and how they are involved in the public arena and the collective actions.
