Women of Sin

Noufissa Charaï / France, Morocco / 2026 / 73 min

In Morocco, Article 490 still criminalizes sex outside marriage, turning thousands of women into outlaws. Karima Nadir has dedicated her life to fighting this  injustice — and for dignity, protection, and recognition. Branded “immoral” as a single mother, she defends her son while also caring for her own mother. As an activist, she supports those prosecuted for “public indecency” and rape survivors who fear being punished themselves. As the country stands on the brink of a historic reform of the Family Code, Karima takes her fight to the halls of Parliament and the Royal Commission. A powerful portrait of resistance that asks a simple question: who does the law protect, and at what cost?
