How did I not hear about France banning hijabs? What’s going on?
long story short, there’s legislation in the process of being passed that would
- ban girls under 18 from wearing any form of religious head covering in public, and although it’s obviously aimed at muslim women, it would also affect other faith groups that practice similar forms of modest dress
- ban islamic swimwear in schools and public (there is already a modest swimwear ban in place at public beaches, this just extends it)
- ban mothers wearing hijab from entering schools or participating in school field trips or extra curriculars
- ban the slaughter of halal poultry - the cheapest and most easily accessible form of meat protein for the muslim community
- extend school hijab bans to universities
- prevent muslim women from choosing healthcare providers based on gender (which many muslim women prefer to do, since many exams require removal of clothing, etc)
- ban muslim parents from homeschooling
- force halal markets to sell pork and alcohol or face closure
- ban foreign flags at weddings
What can I do to help? This sounds utterly outrageous and I want to help out in any way I can even though I am just in the US.
hey guys! lots of people are asking how to help, so i’m reblogging this again with some more info and resources. please remember that, like i stated before, this is not yet law but in the process of becoming law.
more information is coming out daily, and there are a few corrections and updates to note:
- the modest swimwear ban, though it was overturned in 2016 for public beaches, will still affect public pools and schools
- the halal ban is not technically a “ban”, but it is still expected to severely impact the industry in a way that could produce similar effects and make halal poultry less affordable and accessible to the communities that rely on it as an affordable staple.
- the notion to extend the hijab ban to universities is not yet in effect or being introduced, but many fear it will be the next step
How can you help?
Here are some info posts on how to help. Sources will also be linked at the bottom:
Sources and tips:
- source for the insta timeline
- how you can help
- how to be a better ally to muslim women
- how to educate yourself and be an ally + organizations to reach out to
- why you should not wear hijab in solidarity
- A few tips; talk to muslim women instead of for them - learn about why some women choose to wear it while also learning about why some women choose not to - learn about what hijab means for women and men - don’t limit your support to a few posts, be active - educate yourself about how colonialism, racism, and orientalism plays into this
- the hashtags #CantBanUs and #HandsOffMyHijab are trending, but they were created by and for muslim women. spread their stories and give them platform, but don’t occupy their space
Information is constantly changing, so if any fellow Muslims out there have some additional links, updated info, or tips, please feel free to add on
And lastly, please don’t add unnecessary commentary or confrontational dialogue to this post. Reblogs encouraged!
