 * 1. Mohammed VI **
 * Is the King of Morocco. He took over after his father died, in 1999. He went to religious and law school. **


 * 2. Morocco **
 * The population 30,704,000. The capital is Rabat. Morocco is in the northeast of Africa and is right at the Atlantic ocean and Mediterranean Sea. The Atlas mountains run through Morocco. About most of Morocco is muslims. Most people are farmers. even though some migrate over to Spain and other countries that are in Europe to find jobs. In Morocco there are droughts and unemployment. They have a sand wall to keep out Polisario soldiers. They export clothing, fish, chemicals, soil, minerals, and transistors. They grow wheat, barley, citrus, they make wine and have livestock. They mine phosphate rocks and they also process them. They also have food processing, textiles, and there are leather goods. They are one of the three countries that are a kingdom. **


 * 3. His family has ruled for over 400 years. He was the president of the Pan Arab Games, was in charge of the colonel major for the Royal Moroccan Army, was the officer for the Royal Armed Forces. He got a bachelor’s degree and PhD for law. He went to religious and a law schools. He got his degrees from French University of Nice Sophia Antipolis and George Washington University. Is said to be a descent of Muhammad. He has ruled since 1999. **


 * 4. One group that would support to stop honor killings in Morocco would be Violence Against Women. Their goal is to help women get the rights that they deserve in their country. They would support Mohammed VI in Morocco because Mohammed is trying to stop honor killings and other bad things that are happening to women and give them extra rights so that they can own their own properties and get a divorce without being frowned upon. Violence Against Women is trying to stop all violence against women and this goes along with what Mohammed is trying to do to. **


 * Another group that would support Morocco is the United Nations because they are all about getting people equal rights. They are a good supporter because Mohammed also wants people to be equal and he wants to stop poverty and he wanted women to have equal rights too. That the UN is supporting many other things and Mohammed has other things that he supports so that they can work together to help stop honor killings and other things they support. **


 * Also another group that would support Morocco would be the African Union because they alway want equality between people and they would want women to be treated equal and not being raped and killed because they don’t want to get married to some that they don’t like. The would agree with Mohammed so that both can work together to stop inequality. **


 * 5. **
 * a. Here Morocco they are ranked 17th. In Morocco they are ran by a king and he has been running since 1999 after his father died. He has changed some things since his father has past away and he is trying to change equal rights for women. Also that goes along with the honor killings that have happen to women in Morocco. He is also trying to help end poverty in Morocco. **


 * b. Women can be killed for getting a divorce, owning land, getting involved with politics, and having a relationship during their marriage. Here in Morocco the king, Mohammed is trying to help women not being punished for doing wrong things. He is trying to get them equal rights between men and women. While on the list for participation and human rights they are ranked 41st. If they can get to where they can have equal rights for men and women. **


 * c. In their kingdom, the king Mohammed is working on the getting his country where there are equal rights for all people and that there is no more poverty. he is fighting for his country to have equal rights between people and that there is no more honor killings. For this category they were ranked 6th. I think that is really good and that they are can improve the equal rights for women and they can be ranked higher. **
