Abstract Title : Rape Culture and Victim-Blaming in Morocco: Moroccans' Attitudes towards Female Victims of RapeAbstract : This article studies Moroccans' attitudes towards female victims of rape using a questionnaire, interviews and content analysis on social media. These methods are used to show how the victim's clothing, sexual history, and the victim-perpetrator relationship along with other factors tend to influence victim blaming in sexual crimes and contribute to the treatment of victims as guilty, responsible, and deserving of their fate
