The Globe and Mail today features an op-ed by Dr. Ayesha Chaudhry, ‘Don’t Politicize Women’s Bodies’.
It begins:
‘This summer, the European Court of Human Rights upheld France’s burka ban, agreeing that the burka hinders Muslim women from integrating into French society. Several European countries, including Belgium and Switzerland, have also recently banned the niqab (face veil), reflecting a European trend that may well have an effect counter to its stated intention.’
