Moroccan climber Bouchra Bebano plans to set up special groups to train Moroccan girls on the rise and climb of mountains. The Moroccan girl deserves to learn a lot of her mountain-climbing experiences.

Girls qualify for mountain climbing
Currently, she holds special workshops for girls interested in mountain climbing, in cooperation with the Royal Moroccan Royal Sports University (where she is the head of the Women's Section) and with the support of King Mohammed VI and Prime Minister Saad Eddin Othmani.

"I'm trying to form a team of girls from the age of 14 to 17, to qualify them for the mountains, and we will start from Morocco, and I will form teams of them to compete in international competitions for ice skating or climbing peaks," she said.

Self-discovery and realization of dreams
It is not only a matter of educating girls about climbing sports, but also their dream to help them discover themselves, persevere in achieving their dreams by playing sports, even if they are dangerous from the point of view of others. They will also help them learn different climbing skills and protect their lives. , The risks are great.

"A man may die in bed, but he must not throw himself into ruin, so the climber must practice special techniques that protect him and preserve his life. I saw dead people on Mount Everest and others who lost limbs because of the frostbite. Protecting ourselves, this is one of the important lessons I will teach my team. "

The Moroccan climber calls on all sponsors of such sports to provide support to girls in particular. "The rise of the summits is an effort, it takes a lot of money to spend, and if it were not for the sponsors of my trip, I would not have achieved my dream."

The summit of Venus Mountain is an exceptional adventure
Her decision to set up special groups to train Moroccan girls on mountain climbing, after finally succeeding in ending the seven-summit challenge begun in 2011 by climbing the summit of Mount Venus, was the highest peak in Antarctica at an altitude of 4,892 meters.

On her last trip, Bushra was part of an adventure she described as exceptional for four women from four countries: Morocco, India, Canada and Norway, which took three weeks in bad climatic conditions with strong winds and extreme cold.

"The challenge for me was a personal challenge," she told Al Jazeera Net. "I tried to prove to the whole world the courage of Moroccan women who deserve support for their dreams, even if the mountains are up."

The dream of nature reserves began
Boushra started her climbing project since 2011, when her idea was to walk in nature reserves. She decided to climb Mount Toubkal at the highest peak in Morocco, and the idea was to go outside the Moroccan border.

"My dream ended eight years after the challenge, at a time when I was not sure I could do it, but the challenge and perseverance are the way to achieve the most difficult dreams. Although I was 48 years old, I stuck to my dream and did not care about the attempts of some, The march continued. "

She sees the rise of mountains as a school where she has learned patience, persistence and self-challenge, all of which are beyond her joy as the first Moroccan woman to achieve this great achievement.

She also hopes that her only daughter will someday achieve this achievement again, "I wish she would."

Against violence against women
Not only did Bushra support Moroccan women, but she also contributed to a 16-day campaign to combat violence against women at the request of the UN. She actually recorded a video on her journey to Venus, where she spoke about her vision to combat violence against women globally and how to resist it.
