Not Only Prohibit Wearing Hijab, Now France Prohibits Wearing Abaya in Schools

Dream - The French government has issued a regulation that prohibits students in public schools from wearing gamis or abaya. This regulation will be implemented after the new academic year starts on September 4th.

France strictly prohibits religious symbols in public schools and government buildings because it violates secular laws.

"Previously, France has banned the use of hijab in public schools since 2004."

"When you enter the classroom, you should not identify the students' religion just by looking at them. I have decided that abaya is no longer worn at school."
Minister of Education Gabriel Attal said, quoted from BBC.

"Political Division"

This step is taken after months of debate regarding the use of abaya in French schools. The clothing is increasingly worn in schools, causing political division in the education world. Right-wing parties are pushing for a ban, while left-wing parties express concern for the rights of Muslim women and girls.

He said he would provide clear rules at the national level before schools open after the summer holidays. "The abaya is a religious symbol, aimed at testing the republic's resistance to the secular protection that schools must have," he said.

"Prohibition of Using Religious Symbols"

"In 2010, France banned the use of burqas in public, which triggered anger among the Muslim community consisting of five million people. France has been prohibiting the use of religious symbols in schools since the 19th century, including Christian symbols like the large cross, in an effort to restrain the influence of Catholicism in public education."

The law has been updated over the years to reflect changes in the population, which now includes Muslim hijabs and Jewish kippahs, but abayas have not been directly prohibited.
