The Red gold In Spain

They are Moroccan women who forced them to live and their harsh social situation to leave their country and to experience the waves of migration to the fields of the Huelva region in the province of Andalusia in southern Spain, away from their children, their husbands and relatives, women fighting the night and the day's ends. The claws of misery and the teeth of poverty, women led by the curse of the tiny euros they receive despite bending their backs for hours, and they reap the fruit of strawberries across the topography of other fields of the coast, Some of them have already participated in this experiment and others have been fighting for the first time. Most of them have come from the countryside and the tin shantytowns adjacent to the major cities in Morocco, Most of them do not know how to read or write not even the language of the country to which they are heading, Low wages and difficult work in these estates make Spanish officials find in Morocco a fertile field to attract these workers, taking advantage of the weak social and economic situation they suffer in their home country

In these estates, there are not only Moroccan workers, but also workers from some countries such as Romania, Poland and Bulgaria, but employers prefer Moroccan women to their Eastern European counterparts because of their dedication to their work and experience in this field. Every year thousands of tons of fruits are harvested. Spain has been able to occupy very advanced European countries in the field of agriculture, especially in the production and export of red fruits, which are topped by strawberry fruit. This has led some to call the latter the title of red gold In Spain.

This process comes in the framework of the labor agreement signed between the Moroccan and Spanish governments in 2001. Since then, the Spanish fields and farms have been known for the arrival of thousands of Moroccan workers, especially between April and June, and one of the provisions of this agreement stipulates that the Moroccan worker must be between Aged 21 and 45, and have the physical ability to do this work. She must be married and have children, so that her return to Morocco will be guaranteed after the end of the harvest season. Yes, these women go to the land for work, but in the eyes of their employers They are just a prostitute It is practiced by farmers to harvest strawberries during the day and forced sex is practiced at night if they want to continue to work. Anyone who refuses to satisfy the animal freaks of these "masters" is attacked and expelled from Spain and returned to Morocco. Workers who will be attracted in the next agricultural season.

Are violations and crimes of integrated elements have been unveiled when many women chose to break the wall of silence, and to detect the brutal treatment of workers and subjected to sexual extortion by those responsible for the management of these fields, whose greed and appetite exceeded the huge profits that you accumulate at the expense of sweat bodies of these Moroccan women, To the practice of the worst forms of exploitation, provocation, harassment and sexual harassment, in addition to rapes, these statements were made in some media platforms (Spanish newspapers such as "Elespanol" and "El Pais" and others) to reveal the flames of hell, And the size of conspiracies woven into the strawberries. Thanks to these statements, one of the most tragic chapters in the series of modern slavery and modern slavery in the 21st century has been exposed.

The consequences of these violations do not leave these workers and remain close to them throughout their lives, especially in terms of health, because these seasonal Moroccan women working in the fields of strawberries Spanish threatened to get very serious diseases, and the reason is the types of dangerous chemical pesticides used in those estates, A large amount of pesticides makes them susceptible to many diseases that are difficult to treat later.

Would the Spaniards accept to work in such circumstances? Of course not, as Spain's unemployment rate has peaked in recent years, especially when the economic crisis of 2008 has been swept away. However, the Spanish citizen does not accept to engage in such inhumane acts and conditions. He prefers to remain unemployed for the rest of his life to sign a work contract that only satisfies the misters of the southern coast.

I wonder how a country like Spain, which claims democracy and the fact that it is a state of law and law, can cause such violations against these women! I also wonder how Moroccan officials have taken the unforgivable mistake of signing a contract that is flawed by many gaps - the low wages paid to these workers compared to their hard work, the absence of their right to retirement, medical coverage and other grave abuses that suck their blood and steal Their ages! Our understanding of the provisions of this agreement leads us to conclude that this contract is closer to a contract of forced labor and temporary servitude than a contract of employment as is internationally recognized in the field of labor. This contract does not safeguard the dignity of these workers and does not guarantee their rights, With the International Convention on the Rights of Workers and Migrants.

The main reason for all that happens to these women is the absence of a strong, deliberate and clear policy toward the working class in particular, and the generally vulnerable class in a country where the looting of public money and lying to citizens is a daily ritual. And television interviews from the introduction of radical reforms in all sectors, guaranteeing the dignity and the lives of Moroccans in humanitarian conditions on this happy land, but the survival and fulfillment and application on the ground dream of a generation to mend the other, the deterioration of this situation damaged our youth link and make it without a specific direction, He became helpless and helpless, lost confidence in himself and around him.
