Habiba
Habiba specialises in weaving Zemmour rugs. She moved to Zemmour after her marriage, and met people from different cultures and regions of Morocco. Being young, she learned weaving and excelled in weaving the Zemmour rug after years of practice. A strong woman, she fought for her rights and that of her peers, and formed a cooperative to protect their rights. Today, more than 50 women in the town and countryside are working in the cooperative she set up. Their efforts were recognised by the Ministry of Artisanship of Morocco and they were awarded a quality label.
