Synopsis
Women of Sin follows Karima Nadir, a grassroots activist and single mother in Morocco, where sex outside marriage remains criminalized under Article 490. Marked as “immoral,” Karima fights to protect her son Hakim, who faces harassment because he was born out of wedlock and lacks legal recognition. At home, she also cares for her mother Malika.
Through her activism and her group KIF MAMA KIF BABA, Karima supports single mothers prosecuted for “public indecency” and survivors of rape who fear being punished themselves. As Morocco prepares a long awaited Family Code reform, Karima is invited to Parliament and to a special hearing to defend women’s rights. The film captures a turning point in her fight, and asks a simple question : who does the law protect, and at what cost?"
