France is attempting to pass a bill to ban the hijab. Why?
-France is attempting to pass a bill that bans the hijab from being worn in all sports events. The senate declined to vote on the bill, but it is now passed on to France’s National Assembly as of February 16, 2022. The National Assembly has the final vote. They do not want any religious or racial propaganda at the Olympic games in 2024 that will take place in Paris.
-France has a history of banning and discriminating against women who wear a headscarf. Women can not work at hospitals, stores, restaurants, schools, or any public workplace with a hijab on. Girls can’t wear it in school either.
- Have a huge diverse population of Muslims living there, but fail to protect their rights.
Perception
There’s been ongoing prejudice and stereotypes by people in France against the hijab. They have a preconception that all women who wear a hijab must be practicing an extremist religion and that being modest is not feminist.
France has a culture that adopted an importance for fashion. During last years Paris fashion week, models were seen wearing headscarves on the runways. They have this notion that if it’s worn for religious reasons, it must mean that that individual is oppressed due to their culture and religious practices. Women who wear it have a strong cultural belief in modesty and it’s important to them personally.
France’s power and leaders voiced their opinions on this topic after interpreting what they believe the hijab means, and negatively influenced the lives of many women living there.
These cultural differences impact how they interact and interpret one another.
