She was re-elected in 2007 and 2011. In 2018 a law went into effect throughout Morocco known as the Hakkaoui law because she drafted it; the law includes a ban on forced marriage and sexual harassment in public places, and harsher penalties for certain forms of violence. But it was criticized for requiring victims to file for criminal prosecution to get protection.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.com/news/world-africa-45496337 |title=Morocco bans forced marriage and sexual violence - BBC News |publisher=Bbc.com |date= |accessdate=2018-09-13}}
