The Gazelle Rally has the particularity of being reserved for women.

Among them, a majority of French women and a handful of Moroccans.

Five pairs out of nearly 200 crews.

Moroccan society is changing, but sport is lagging behind.

The obstacles are numerous and mentalities are struggling to evolve.
