Its purpose was to work for better educational and professional opportunities for women, better working conditions for women, justice, freedom, democracy, women's rights, and reform in civil law and the end of gender discrimination. The women's movement in Morocco  begun in connection with the liberation struggle against the French colonial regime in the 1940s, but it died down after Morocco became an independent country and granted women's suffrage in 1956, and the UPFM was the revival of the women's movement in Morocco.
