Moroccan women embroider 'art with purpose'

French Morocco artist Margaux Derhy (R) holds an art work during an embroidery workshop in Sidi Rbat, some 70 kilometres (45 miles) south of Agadir, on May 14, 2025. Derhy founded the workshop in 2022 in her father's native village of Sidi R'bat, to fulfil her "dream to make art with purpose". The project uses textile and old photographs to explore her family heritage before they left the country in the 1960s, turning sepia-toned portraits and scenes into large silk-and-linen canvases. Just 19 percent of Moroccan women hold steady jobs, according to official figures, and in rural areas they are particularly affected by poverty, unpaid labour and a lack of opportunity.
