Migration is not alone movement in space, from one country to another, but also a movement in culture. Without doubt migration leads to cultural confrontations. In the past 40 years it was the Maroccan women with a Berber background who had to fight the most for their role and position in the Western world. The gap between cultures was the most visible with those women. How are they dealing with their migration? How do they deal with Western society How do they look back to where they are coming from How independant are Maroccan women today in the Nederlands? How much freedom does she have and is she allowed to have? What are their dreams and fears?
