Morocco has been at the crossroads of cultures and civilizations since the dawn of time, and since its official return to the African Union, the flow of sub-Saharans has increased remarkably, a majority of sub-Saharan migrants are female arriving in Morocco to flee war, poverty, forced marriages, or to provide for their families left in their countries of origin.

At the end of this migratory presence on Moroccan territory, young sub-Saharan countries are more successful in integrating in Morocco, thanks to intermediaries and home help placement agencies, women seek stability more than men, they tolerate much less precariousness and living conditions on the street and on the other hand they are more and more in demand, especially those with a level of education because Moroccan families are looking more for educated women who master the French language.

It would therefore be interesting to question how sub-Saharan migrant women see themselves and how they anticipate their presence as home helpers in Moroccan homes, especially in the face of changing work environments.

To guide this issue, we postulate this hypothesis: The intercultural representations induced by the presence of sub-Saharan women as home helpers would have a positive impact on the Moroccan family? To answer this question, we use a questionnaire survey of sub-Saharan women, including home helpers who work in Moroccan homes.
