ABSTRACT
The combination of revolutions and uprisings that began at the end of 2010 in Arab countries was the most important moment of political change since the processes of decolonization in the middle of the 20th century. This chapter discusses some issues in relation to the social movements in Tangiers against the background of change, thinking of gender, border, and social change issues. It examines whether the discourse analyzing border dynamics and the transitional nature of the Tangiers-Tetouan region is present in some form in the civil society tapestry of the region and particularly in the associations that deal with gender-related issues. The chapter talks about the civil society tapestry in the region formed by human rights associations, feminists, and by associations connected with Islamic feminism that provides social assistance to groups of women in need.
