This paper examines the role of Saharawi women in the national liberation struggle for Western Saharas independence through the lens of Feminist National Liberation Theory. It examines their contributions in political activism, administration, governance, and transnational advocacy and the oppression women face from Moroccan colonialism and the Saharawi liberation struggle. Sahrawi women suffer torture, arbitrary detention, and sexual harassment as a result of their resistance to the Moroccan occupation and struggle for self-determination. This paper adopts the Feminist National Liberation Theory to examine how Saharawi women have been both active agents and symbolic pillars of resilience and resistance in their efforts to challenge colonial oppression. It employs a qualitative historical analysis and feminist critique of womens role in the independence struggle using secondary sources of data, including historical documents, reports and academic literature. The paper argues that womens agency is not secondary but fundamental to independence struggles, and that national independence cannot be achieved without gender justice, positioning Saharawi women as both symbols and agents of resilience and resistance.

Conclusion

The study demonstrates that Sahrawi women have been central to the national liberation movement of Western Sahara, contributing to resilience, reconstruction, and resistance against both colonial domination and patriarchal authority.Their involvement extends beyond traditional roles, encompassing governance, education, and international advocacy.The resilience of Sahrawi women offers a model for understanding liberation as an ongoing process that must dismantle both colonial domination and patriarchal authority.

Future Research

Penelitian lebih lanjut perlu dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi bagaimana diaspora Sahrawi dan generasi muda Sahrawi merekonstruksi gagasan pembebasan, serta bagaimana mereka menanggapi narasi nasionalis tradisional. Selain itu, penelitian perlu menyelidiki dampak spesifik pendudukan Maroko terhadap kesehatan mental dan kesejahteraan psikologis perempuan Sahrawi, dan mengembangkan strategi dukungan yang sesuai. Terakhir, penelitian perlu berfokus pada peran perempuan Sahrawi dalam proses pembangunan perdamaian dan rekonsiliasi, dengan mempertimbangkan kebutuhan dan perspektif unik mereka untuk memastikan perdamaian yang berkelanjutan dan inklusif di Western Sahara. Penelitian-penelitian ini penting untuk memahami secara komprehensif dinamika pembebasan dan pembangunan di Western Sahara, serta untuk memberdayakan perempuan Sahrawi dalam menentukan masa depan mereka sendiri.
