yeah duno how i feel about this
"...we agree that we want to introduce a legal requirement to show one's face in places where it is necessary for our society's coexistence -- at the wheel, at public offices, at the registry office, in schools and universities, in the civil service, in court,"
this sounds vaguely reasonable if it's just for like identification purposes, but it's a tough game to play. i'd be fine if it were just saying that you need to have your full face on photo ID and on record, but if they're just saying you're not allowed to have them at all in those places that's a bit weird
Well it's about time someone finally realized that the burqa is oppressive to women, even though it's a religious thing. We live in a modern society and this kind of stuff should've been gone a long time ago.
well this isn't really done under the banner of women's rights, it's supposed to be anti-terrorist policy (whether or not it makes sense in that context is a different topic). basically my deal is just let people wear whatever the forget they want, if a woman doesn't want to wear a burqa then they shouldn't be compelled to, and if they do want to, then they have every right to do that as well. it's oppressive in general to dictate what people should look like, and in this particular case, you're playing with religious obligations as well, which makes it double-sketchy.
