  • Human Rights of Women Wearing the Veil in Western Europe
    Human Rights of Women Wearing the Veil in Western Europe Research Paper I. Introduction The present paper analyses legislation, policies, and case-law surrounding religious attire in a number of countries in Western Europe and how they affect the human rights of women and girls who wear the veil in Western Europe. It also more broadly analyses discrimination and violence experienced by women wearing the veil in Europe learning from their own voice. Throughout the paper, the terminology ‘veil’ is used to refer to a variety of religious attire worn mostly, but not exclusively, by Muslim women. There are different types of clothing that cover the body. This research is focused on manifestations of veils that are the subject of regulation in several Western European Countries. They include the hijab (a piece of clothing that covers the head and neck, but not the face), niqab (a piece of clothing that covers the face, where only the eyes are visible), burqa (a piece of clothing that covers both the face and eyes), jilbab (a loose piece of clothing that covers the body from head to toe), or abaya, kaftan, kebaya (a loose, often black, full body cover overcoat). The head and body covers are often combined. In several countries, some of these clothing are based on traditional costumes rather than religion and are often worn by rural communities in the countries of origins. The paper also uses the terminology ‘full-face veil’ or ‘face-covering veil’ to refer to both niqab and burqa. Furthermore, it refers to burkini, a swimsuit that covers the body from head to ankles, completed by a dress.

  • Faith in Equality: Religion & Belief in Europe
    The Equinet Report ‘Faith in Equality: Religion and Belief in Europe’ highlights recent legal developments that have taken place in the field of discrimination based on religion and belief. LEGAL FRAMEWORK EU protection against discrimination on the grounds of religion and belief is incomplete. EU law specifically prohibits differential treatment based on religion only in the area of employment (including vocational training). This gap would be covered by adopting the Horizontal Directive, proposed in 2008. EMPLOYMENT Discrimination cases have been identified in areas such as recruitment and selection; headgear and religious symbols; religious harassment in the workplace; justified occupational requirement; opting out of certain work tasks; work patterns; and conflicts of rights. EDUCATION Consistent with the trend shown in our 2011 report, a majority of the cases reported to equality bodies across the EU which deal with religious freedom in education are connected to the Muslim religion, particularly with Muslim women’s dress. GOODS & SERVICES In relation to religious discrimination in the provision of goods and services, justifications for discriminatory behaviour towards certain religious groups have to be examined thoroughly, be they health and safety concerns, the need to maintain security or the aim of enhancing integration. MANIFESTING RELIGION & BELIEF IN PUBLIC Although the full-face veil and the burkini are not comparable, they are both the subject of the will of politicians to legislate against forms of religious garments. Our report finds that the European Court of Human Rights' ‘living together’ argument for a blanket ban on the full-face veil does not sufficiently delineate what it means in respect of restricting fundamental rights, including the right to freedom of religion.

  • Burkini” Bans in Belgian Municipal Swimming Pools: Banning As a Default Option
    View metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk brought to you by CORE provided by Ghent University Academic Bibliography “Burkini” Bans in Belgian Municipal Swimming Pools: Banning as a Default Option Eva Brems, Saïla Ouald Chaib and Katrijn Vanhees1 1. INTRODUCTION In the summer of 2016, so-called “burkini” bans on French beaches drew worldwide attention. In its neighbouring country Belgium, politicians and media eagerly joined the debate, confirming once more the saying ‘when it pours in Paris, it rains in Brussels’. France’s “burkini” beach bans were eventually ruled illegal, and Belgium never introduced them. Yet in the meantime, under the radar in Belgium, body covering swimwear is banned in the majority of municipal swimming pools, which are the prime swimming spots in the country. The lack of attention for these bans in municipal swimming pools is surprising, especially since their potential impact on women who wish to swim with a “burkini” is even more important than bans applying to the beach. In fact, these bans in swimming pools deny access to basic sport activities throughout the entire year. This research zooms in on such bans in Flanders, the Northern Dutch-language region of Belgium. In Section 2 it maps the prevalence and stated reasons behind Flemish “burkini” bans in municipal swimming pools, Section 3 looks into the experiences of “burkini” wearers , before analysing the bans in the light of European human rights standards in Section 4. First however, a short introduction is due to the “burkini” debate, which is discussed in Section 1.1 and the Belgian context regarding restrictions on female Muslims’ dress is discussed in Section 1.2.
