Pupils will be banned from wearing abayas, loose-fitting full-length robes worn by some Muslim women, in France’s state-run schools, the education minister has said.

The rule will be applied as soon as the new school year starts on 4 September.

France has a strict ban on religious signs in state schools and government buildings, arguing that they violate secular laws.

Wearing a headscarf has been banned since 2004 in state-run schools.

      You’ll sure show them how abusive it is for them to be forced wear headwear by forcing them not to wear it. Women aren’t idiots who need to be told that they are abused and especially “telling” them that they are abused by forcing them to do something.

      As women in Iran have showed they are very much aware of it and don’t white atheist to tell them shit

        Yes, as you often don’t realise what you have grown up with is complete BS and need the outside perspective. The amount of policing done by the community in Islam is F* insane. IK a girl who once removed her headscarf to attend a party, and some guy in party snitched and told her parents abt it. I later heard she was getting grounded and then married off against her wishes.
