The economic, social and political women in the Maghreb has changed considerably over the past 20 years. But the media in the Maghreb are still engaged in socially constructed inequalities and refelcteixen adequately the realities of women. This “glass ceiling” is the main obstacle to the empowerment of women and their best representation in the media. His image is still subject to stereotyping, and their views are often pushed aside. All these were issues that were discussed at the workshop.
