As she doesn’t like to spend hours deciding on an outfit or spend her money on clothes, Nabeela finds wearing a burqa suits her lifestyle better.įrance’s “principles of the Republic” bill would ban girls under the age of 18 from wearing the hijab in public, if passed by the National Assembly. Rather than blending into society, Nabeela is proud of her headscarf, which she thinks makes her unique. According to Nabeela she first decided to wear a hijab as her religion suggests to cover the face and body, however, her hijab quickly became part of her self-identity. Nabeela Jamil has explained that her personal decision to wear a hijab came as she discovered her faith as she was growing up, she was not forced by her family or community. The majority of Muslim women have the freedom to decide which veil they wear on a daily basis or even if they wear one at all. Though the veil that has faced considerable backlash in the West are burqas, which covers the entire body, face and can be paired with a mesh eyepiece. Another popular choice among Muslim women is the Al-amira, a fitted tube-like scarf that hides the hair and head. There are several different types of headscarves worn by practising Muslim women, the most common being the hijab – a scarf that covers both the head and neck but not the face. ![]() Women have reported having their headscarf ripped off at markets as well as physical and verbal bullying. According to the French Collective Against Islamophobia, attacks rose twofold in just one year between 20, 77% of these attacks were against Muslim women wearing a headscarf. Muslim women face serious danger when headscarves are in the political limelight as Islamophobic attacks are becoming increasingly common. Switzerland recently voted in a national referendum to ban face coverings in public spaces in order to prevent security threats and dangerous protests, however, posters in favour of the ban showed Muslim women in burqas. These laws signal the growing presence of far-right politics within Europe. Austria has banned burqas in most public areas and the Russian president Kadyrov has even publicly shown his support for men that attacked Muslim women with paintballs who did not follow veil restrictions. Germany was one of the first countries to place restrictions on headscarves in education. Those who wear a cross can simply tuck it under their shirt, but for Muslims it is practically impossible to hide a burqa or hijab.įrance is not the only state to have negative perceptions of the hijab. Despite this law being targeted at all religions, Christians can easily divert the new rules. In 2004 all religious symbols were banned in schools, including crosses and burqas (full-face veil), under the guise of limiting religious influences on children. #Handsoffmyhijab #FranceHijabBan /BSRBHbQgaG- nesa April 10, 2021įrance has a history of policy that targets minority communities, particularly Muslims.
