From France to Denmark, bans on full-face Muslim veils are
spreading across Europe
By Rebecca Tan
, Foreign reporter
August 16
Earlier this month, Denmark became the fifth country in Europe to introduce a ban on face coverings in
public places. The policy is widely viewed as being targeted at Muslim women who wear veils such as
the niqab.
Despite protests in the country’s capital, police have started enforcing the law in earnest. On Aug. 3, a
28-year-old wearing the niqab, which covers the entire body except the eyes, was attacked by another
Danish woman who tried to pull her veil off, the Guardian reported. Police fined the Muslim woman
$156.
Legislation around full-face veils has grown increasingly common in Europe, particularly in the past
three years. Six countries have now passed nationwide laws that partially or fully ban face veils in public
places. The latest is the Netherlands, which voted in June to partially ban face veils in locations such as
schools and hospitals, but not on public streets.
CATEGORY COUNTRIES
Nationwide bans or partial bans France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands
Local bans in cities or towns Spain, Italy, Switzerland
No bans, but pending legislation for local or national bans Germany, Latvia, Finland, Luxembourg
Several other European countries, including Spain and Italy, have banned them in individual cities and
towns, and even more have reviewed proposals for bans at a local or national level.
Widespread calls for legislation outlawing face veils in public places started in France, which in 2011
became the first European country to introduce a nationwide ban. At the time, French President
Nicolas Sarkozy argued during a state-of-the-nation address that the burqa — a head-to-toe covering
with mesh screening the eyes, mainly worn in Afghanistan — was a “sign of subservience and
debasement.”
"I want to say solemnly, the burqa is not welcome in France. In our country, we can’t accept women
prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived of all identity. That’s not our idea of
freedom,” Sarkozy said to rapturous applause from lawmakers, the Guardian reported.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jun/22/islamic-veils-sarkozy-speech-france
Another common justification for the ban is that face veils conceal the identity of the wearer, posing a
security threat.
In Latvia, for example, where just three women among the country’s population of 2 million are
estimated to wear the burqa, debates around a proposed ban on face veils have frequently featured
concerns over security. In 2016, Vaira Vike-Freiberga, the former president of Latvia, told the New York
Times that “covering one’s face in publi.
Gillette played tricks in the early 20th century to convince women they needed to shave their legs by manipulating magazines and advertising. They falsely claimed shaving was a European trend to get women to buy razors. Social media has since changed how fashion trends spread by allowing individuals to both consume and contribute to trends online through influencers. Fast fashion brands also use social media to quickly react to emerging trends.

on March 2. Ken_neth Roth Executive Director
"The proposed law is an unwarranted infringement on the right to religious practice," said Kenneth Roth, executive director of Human Rights Watch. "For many Muslims, wearing a
headscarf is not only about religious expression, it is about religious obligation."
International human rights law obliges state authorities to avoid coercion in matters of religious freedom, and this obligation must be taken into account when devising school dress codes. The proposed prohibition on headscarves in France, as with laws in some
Muslim countries that force girls to wear headscarves in schools, violates this principle.
Under international law, states can only limit religious practices when there is a compelling public safety reason, when the manifestation of religious beliefs would impinge on the rights of others, or when it serves a legitimate educational function (such as prohibiting practices that preclude student-teacher interaction). Muslim headscarves, Sikh turbans, Jewish skullcaps and large
Christian crosses—which are arnong the visible religious symbols that would be prohibited—do not pose a threat to public health, order or morals; they have no effect on the fundamental rights and freedoms of other students; and they do not undermine a school's educational function.

This session will look at challenges related to free speech online. We will address restrictions to freedom of expression from technological challenges (filters, surveillance techniques, blocking access to websites) to the introduction of new laws that curb digital freedom. We will also cover the increasing trend of takedown requests, the phenomenon of privatisation of censorship as well as threats, intimidation and violence against citizen journalists and bloggers. Through detailed case studies, participants will have the opportunity to explore the various implications of online censorship for media freedom. Case studies will include examples from countries such as Azerbaijan, Turkey, Belarus, India and Brazil.
1) The document provides information and advice about preparing for and responding to a terrorist attack, including assembling an emergency kit, creating a family emergency plan and contact information, learning first aid, and heeding instructions from local authorities.
2) It discusses the psychological and societal impacts that can follow a terrorist attack, such as casualties, overwhelmed emergency response systems, extensive media coverage and public fear, travel restrictions and long-term clean-up efforts.
3) The document outlines steps to take during an attack, such as remaining calm, assisting injured individuals, following evacuation orders and sheltering in place if instructed, as well as steps after an attack like checking on neighbors and listening to official reports.
The revolt in France is fundamentally directed against the neoliberalism that has caused social inequality to reach alarming levels throughout the world, including in France.

Migration Law - Final Assignment (Distinction)Sue Stone
This document provides an introduction to a paper discussing whether limitations imposed by international law on Australia's ability to prevent irregular boat migrants unjustifiably interferes with its sovereignty. It notes there is a balance between sovereignty and international obligations. It discusses the large influx of migrants into Europe in 2015 and how countries struggled to accommodate them. It argues that allowing a similar situation to occur in Australia could overwhelm the country's capacity. It maintains that orderly migration processes should be followed.
The document discusses the rise of new media and citizen journalism. It provides examples of how social media and mobile technologies have enabled ordinary people to actively participate in sharing news and information, especially in times of crisis or political unrest. New media tools like Twitter, YouTube, and Ushahidi have allowed more grassroots, real-time reporting of events.

GPN Webinar: "COVID-19 AND CITIES. BUILDING RESILIENCE ON HUMAN RIGHTS AND EN...GLOBAL PANDEMIC NETWORK
This document discusses a webinar being held by the Global Pandemic Network on building resilience in cities during Covid-19 with a focus on human rights and environmental protection. It provides information on the time and speakers for the webinar. It then summarizes some of the key human rights and environmental issues that cities are facing during the pandemic, including increased risks to the rights to adequate housing, water, a healthy environment, and impacts on vulnerable groups. It argues that building more resilient cities will require strengthening economic, social and cultural rights.
The term “infodemic”, first coined by Gunther Eysenbach in 2002, refers to the rapid, large-scale dissemination of all kinds of health information and misinformation through a variety of media and information channels.
The term is apt because the global consequences of this mode of information dissemination, which results in an overabundance of information, some of it accurate and some not, resembles the transmission of a pandemic.
The current COVID-19-related infodemic is of such significance that the World Health Organization has created Mythbusters to help stop the spread of misinformation, and multiple disciplines are collaborating in a new field of research – infodemiology – to combat this infodemic.
How can the library and information field respond? The Naseej Academy and Mortenson Center for International Library Programs will present a two-hour webinar on the infodemic during the COVID-19 pandemic for library and information specialists.
Webinar objectives
• Introduce the COVID-19-related infodemic, discuss the need for an information vaccine (Albright, 2016), and describe its significance for libraries.
• Explore solutions that library and information specialists can undertake, through a discussion of experiences with infodemics.
• Present ideas and actions that library and information specialists can undertake as solutions and to prevent the spread of the COVID-19-related infodemic.

The document discusses Europe's response to the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris. It summarizes the views of prominent figures on whether Islam itself is responsible for terrorism. It also profiles the attackers and notes commonalities with other recent extremists in Europe. While a small minority of Muslims hold extreme views, the vast majority do not, and the issue affects all societies. A balanced, nuanced response is needed to address the complex social and religious factors driving radicalization.
The document discusses Europe's response to the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris. It summarizes the views of some who argue radical Islam is embedded in Islam itself, while others say the terrorists do not represent Islam. It profiles the attackers and notes they followed a pattern of becoming radicalized in prison then carrying out attacks after training abroad. While the threat is real, most Muslims do not support terrorism. There is no simple response, but attitudes and actions will shape future developments.

France has a long history of playing a key role in shaping modern diplomacy. French diplomacy is characterized as conservative, tough, purposeful, and strategic. France engages in both multilateral and bilateral diplomacy, utilizing international organizations like the EU and summits. Within the EU, France supports strengthening the Commission but wants the Council to remain dominant in decision making. However, France has also opposed some EU policies like Turkey's candidacy. Domestically, Sarkozy banned some religious symbols in schools and criticized the burqa as oppressing women.
The document discusses the role of media and film in influencing fashion trends. It focuses on three key areas: the use of plus-size models and preventing unhealthy BMIs; the impact of period pieces like Downton Abbey and The Great Gatsby on high street and designer brands; and social media's influence, where most women seek fashion inspiration from platforms like Facebook, blogs, Instagram and Pintrest. Television shows and films from Sherlock to Downton Abbey promoted traditional fabrics and colors, while The Great Gatsby influenced designers like Prada, Gucci and Valentino.

The document discusses Europe's response to the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris. It summarizes the views of prominent figures on whether Islam itself is responsible for terrorism. It also profiles the attackers and notes commonalities with other recent extremists in Europe. While a small minority of Muslims hold extreme views, the vast majority do not, and the issue affects all societies. A balanced, nuanced response is needed to address the complex social and religious factors driving radicalization.
The document discusses Europe's response to the Charlie Hebdo attacks in Paris. It summarizes the views of some who argue radical Islam is embedded in Islam itself, while others say the terrorists do not represent Islam. It profiles the attackers and notes they followed a pattern of becoming radicalized in prison then carrying out attacks after training abroad. While the threat is real, most Muslims do not support terrorism. There is no simple response, but attitudes and actions will shape future developments.

France has a long history of playing a key role in shaping modern diplomacy. French diplomacy is characterized as conservative, tough, purposeful, and strategic. France engages in both multilateral and bilateral diplomacy, utilizing international organizations like the EU and summits. Within the EU, France supports strengthening the Commission but wants the Council to remain dominant in decision making. However, France has also opposed some EU policies like Turkey's candidacy. Domestically, Sarkozy banned some religious symbols in schools and criticized the burqa as oppressing women.
The document discusses the role of media and film in influencing fashion trends.

If you go into the City of Milwaukee, it is a mess with shootings of young children, senseless auto deaths and just things that simply go against my grain. The Mayor has gained the 2020 Democratic Convention for Milwaukee through crazy spending habits for things that won't benefit the City as a whole and has his head in the sand when issues of lead in drinking water laterals, huge uptick of opioid deaths (15 in the city in one day) and homelessness. He claims he is going to have all of that cleaned up by the time the convention comes to town. My fear is he is going to shift the problems to other surrounding communities. There are several activist groups that are constantly pounding on the Mayor's door and for the most part the Mayor spends a great time in parody of the local newspaper as well as online articles.
We had a couple police officer involved deaths where one person was cognitively challenged and attacked the police officer that stopped to wake him from sleeping in a public area. Big marches were organized by the dead person's family, which later came to light that the same family through the dead person out of the house because he was too much of a hassle to deal. Then ended up profiting from his death in wrongful death lawsuits.
So, there was a great deal of negativity going on and some officials lost their elected seats as well as the police officer lost his job although the court cleared him.
There were positives as much as negatives, over the last year we lost 3 police officers and a fire lieutenant due to fatal gunfire from people at the scene. That brought the city together. Since then, Milwaukee has experienced several fatal and non-fatal shooting of young innocent bystander kids. The community has finally grown tired of this and are now cooperating with police in capturing these people. At one time, a shooter could get lost in the city that knows everyone. Those days have gone by.
My question always is, why does there have to be several tragedies happen for people to say enough is enough? I grew up in a different era where the establishment was question but authority or others were still respected. Where did that go?

LAND USE LAND COVER AND NDVI OF MIRZAPUR DISTRICT, UPRAHUL
This Dissertation explores the particular circumstances of Mirzapur, a region located in the
core of India. Mirzapur, with its varied terrains and abundant biodiversity, offers an optimal
environment for investigating the changes in vegetation cover dynamics. Our study utilizes
advanced technologies such as GIS (Geographic Information Systems) and Remote sensing to
analyze the transformations that have taken place over the course of a decade.
The complex relationship between human activities and the environment has been the focus
of extensive research and worry. As the global community grapples with swift urbanization,
population expansion, and economic progress, the effects on natural ecosystems are becoming
more evident. A crucial element of this impact is the alteration of vegetation cover, which plays a
significant role in maintaining the ecological equilibrium of our planet.Land serves as the foundation for all human activities and provides the necessary materials for
these activities. As the most crucial natural resource, its utilization by humans results in different
'Land uses,' which are determined by both human activities and the physical characteristics of the
land.
The utilization of land is impacted by human needs and environmental factors. In countries
like India, rapid population growth and the emphasis on extensive resource exploitation can lead
to significant land degradation, adversely affecting the region's land cover.
Therefore, human intervention has significantly influenced land use patterns over many
centuries, evolving its structure over time and space. In the present era, these changes have
accelerated due to factors such as agriculture and urbanization. Information regarding land use and
cover is essential for various planning and management tasks related to the Earth's surface,
providing crucial environmental data for scientific, resource management, policy purposes, and
diverse human activities.
Accurate understanding of land use and cover is imperative for the development planning
of any area. Consequently, a wide range of professionals, including earth system scientists, land
and water managers, and urban planners, are interested in obtaining data on land use and cover
changes, conversion trends, and other related patterns. The spatial dimensions of land use and
cover support policymakers and scientists in making well-informed decisions, as alterations in
these patterns indicate shifts in economic and social conditions. Monitoring such changes with the
help of Advanced technologies like Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems is
crucial for coordinated efforts across different administrative levels. Advanced technologies like
Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Systems

Changes in vegetation cover refer to variations in the distribution, composition, and overall
structure of plant communities across different temporal and spatial scales. These changes can
occur natural.

From France to Denmark, bans on full-face Muslim veils are
spreading across Europe
By Rebecca Tan
, Foreign reporter
August 16
Earlier this month, Denmark became the fifth country in Europe
to introduce a ban on face coverings in
public places. The policy is widely viewed as being targeted at
Muslim women who wear veils such as
the niqab.
Despite protests in the country’s capital, police have started
enforcing the law in earnest. On Aug. 3, a
28-year-old wearing the niqab, which covers the entire body
except the eyes, was attacked by another
Danish woman who tried to pull her veil off, the Guardian
reported. Police fined the Muslim woman
$156.
Legislation around full-face veils has grown increasingly
common in Europe, particularly in the past
three years. Six countries have now passed nationwide laws that
partially or fully ban face veils in public
places. The latest is the Netherlands, which voted in June to
partially ban face veils in locations such as
2. schools and hospitals, but not on public streets.
CATEGORY COUNTRIES
Nationwide bans or partial bans
France, Belgium, Bulgaria, Austria, Denmark, the Netherlands
Local bans in cities or towns Spain, Italy, Switzerland
No bans, but pending legislation for local or national bans
Germany, Latvia, Finland, Luxembourg
Several other European countries, including Spain and Italy,
have banned them in individual cities and
towns, and even more have reviewed proposals for bans at a
local or national level.
Widespread calls for legislation outlawing face veils in public
places started in France, which in 2011
became the first European country to introduce a nationwide
ban. At the time, French President
Nicolas Sarkozy argued during a state-of-the-nation address that
the burqa — a head-to-toe covering
with mesh screening the eyes, mainly worn in Afghanistan —
was a “sign of subservience and
debasement.”
"I want to say solemnly, the burqa is not welcome in France. In
our country, we can’t accept women
prisoners behind a screen, cut off from all social life, deprived
of all identity. That’s not our idea of
freedom,” Sarkozy said to rapturous applause from lawmakers,
the Guardian reported.

fined-in-denmark-for-wearing-full-face-veil
https://www.bbc.co.uk/newsround/24118241
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2009/jun/22/islamic-veils-
sarkozy-speech-france
Another common justification for the ban is that face veils
conceal the identity of the wearer, posing a
security threat.
In Latvia, for example, where just three women among the
country’s population of 2 million are
estimated to wear the burqa, debates around a proposed ban on
face veils have frequently featured
concerns over security. In 2016, Vaira Vike-Freiberga, the
former president of Latvia, told the New York
Times that “covering one’s face in public at a time of terrorism
presents a danger to society. … You
could carry a rocket launcher under your veil. It’s not funny.”
Politicians also frequently contend that face veils are
inconsistent with existing “European values,”
mounting what experts describe as a “clash of cultures”
argument.
In 2017, Germany’s then-interior minister, Thomas de Maizière,
called for a nationwide ban on face
veils in an editorial that stated: “We are an open society. We
show our face. We are not burqa.” Earlier
this year, while Denmark’s Parliament debated the face-veil bill
that would later become law, Justice
Minister Soren Pape Poulsen contended that a person concealing
her face was “disrespectful” to others
and “incompatible with the values in Danish society.”
4. Regardless of the justification, policies governing head veils are
likely to grow more prevalent in the
coming years, particularly as European governments try to stave
off the growing influence of right-wing
leaders in their countries, experts said.
While the percentage of women who wear the niqab or burqa is
tiny in most European countries, said
Akbar Ahmed, a professor at American University, their veils
are visible markers of the Islamic
community that right-wing leaders point to as evidence of the
“Islamization” of Europe.
And as right-wing groups gain more traction, even moderate or
liberal administrations may feel
pressure to make a strategic choice to ban face veils, explained
Asma Uddin, a senior scholar and
faculty member at the Religious Freedom Center of the Freedom
Forum Institute. Perhaps more
importantly, she added, governments in Europe now feel like
they have license to take such steps
because of the legal precedents set by their neighbors.
In 2014, the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) upheld
the French ban on face veils, ruling
against a 24-year-old Muslim woman who argued that she
wanted to wear her burqa as a matter of
religious freedom. In 2017, the ECHR issued similar decisions
against two Belgian women, ruling that
the country’s ban on face veils does not violate the European
Convention on Human Rights.
As Uddin explained, “We can say all these things about them
violating freedom of religion, but over
there, their own highest court is saying to them, ‘You’re not.
You’re justified in what you’re doing.’ ”

TIME not to disclose her last name out of concerns for her
safety. “It is also a
sign of protest.”
Sabina is a founder of Kvinder i Dialog (Women in Dialogue),
an organization
started by niqabis—women who wear the veil—that brings
Muslim women
affected by the ban into conversation with the larger Danish
population
through events, social media and public appearances. Their goal
has been to
dispel what they say are misconceptions about their choice to
wear the veil:
8. that niqabis are forced to wear the garment, don’t go to school
or work, and are
radicalized and pose a threat.

Now their aims have expanded to include standing their ground
in Danish
society. On the first day of the ban, the women led a public
protest over their
right to wear the veil. Hundreds of people of different religious
and ethnic
backgrounds congregated at Den Sorte Plads in Copenhagen’s
Nørrebro
neighborhood, donning niqabs, colorful scarves and flamboyant
face coverings
—a horse head, fake beards and lucha libre masks were spotted
across the plaza
—to challenge the enforcement of the ban. The crowd marched
on local streets
led by a sign that read “My clothes, my choice” and chanted
“No racists in our
streets!” as they locked arms around the Bellahøj police station.
9. At the same
time, across the country a protest took place in Aarhus,
Denmark’s second
biggest city.
Many in the crowd said taking to the streets seemed to be the
only way to bring
attention to the problem. “When I was a kid, no one talked
about who you
could be and how you could look and dress,” said Line Schmidt,
33, wearing a
black balaclava with yellow translucent heart-shaped
glasses.“It’s not the
Denmark I know.”
To protesters and women who wear the veil, the ban looks like
another sign
that Denmark is betraying its long-held value of tolerance. “It’s
not just about
us fighting for the right to wear our niqab,” Sabina says. “It’s
also about us
fighting for right to live our lives as practicing Muslims in
Denmark. We are
saying to the government: we do not accept this form of racist,
Islamophobic
10. and oppressive politics.”
Denmark’s new law, passed May 31 to take effect from August
1, does not
specifically mention the niqab (a veil that covers the face
except for the eyes)
or burqa (more conservative headwear that covers the head and
body and
includes a mesh screen over the eyes). It is up to police to judge
whether a face
covering is in violation of the ban and to instruct the offender to
go home.
Fines range from 1,000 krone ($156) up to 10,000 krone
($1,568) for repeat
offenses.
But many of those in support of the ban have been clear that it
is meant to
target the Muslim face veil. “We don’t want the burqa and niqab
in Denmark,”

tolerance
Naser Khader, a parliament member with the Conservative
People’s Party and a
Muslim who has long supported the ban, tells TIME. He says
11. it’s about the
principle of women not being oppressed, rather than the number
of women
who wear the veil. “We want gender equality in Denmark, that’s
it. If you want
to go with burqa and niqab, find another place to do it.”
The current number of women who wear the veil in Denmark is
unknown, but
the most recent research suggests it is very few. A 2009 study
by Margit
Warburg, a professor in sociology of religion at the University
of Copenhagen,
indicates less than 0.2% of Muslim women in the country wear
the niqab or
burqa—an estimated 150 women out of a country of 5.7 million.
“It is really a
very small minority out of a minority out of a minority,” says
Warburg.
Human rights groups have slammed arguments like Khader’s.
While there
might be some specific instances where the full-face veil ban
might be
legitimate in the interests of public safety, Amnesty
International argues that
12. the blanket ban is a violation of women’s rights to freedom of
expression and
religion. “If the intention of this law was to protect women’s
rights it fails
abjectly. Instead, the law criminalizes women for their choice of
clothing—
making a mockery of the freedoms Denmark purports to
uphold.”
A Continent-Wide Debate
Denmark follows France, Belgium and Austria with full bans on
face coverings
(Bulgaria, the Netherlands, Germany and other regions and
cities across Europe
have partial bans based on geographical area or type of space).
In 2014 the
European Court of Human Rights upheld France’s 2011 law,
accepting that
social cohesion was a valid argument for the ban, even though
fewer than 2,000
women reportedly wore the veil in 2011, out of nearly 5 million
Muslims in
France.
But enforcement and effectiveness of the ban have been mixed.
13. In Austria,
which implemented a similar law in October 2017, police fined
people with
scarves and a man in a shark costume because of confusion over

wording of the law. France, the first European country to
introduce such a ban,
has consistently enforced the law—but surveys indicate niqabis
continue to
wear the veil but spend more time indoors (though there is little
research on
women who wear the veil after the ban).
“It divides society,” says Sara Silvestri, professor of religion
and politics at
14. City, University of London, and an expert on Islam in Europe.
“It either
withdraws women into the closely-knit community or empowers
them to fight
back and become even more religious and even more proud to
wear the veil.”
In Denmark both the center-right government and center-left
Social Democrat
party voted in favor of the ban, passing the law 75-30. At the
heart of the
government’s argument were concerns over the subjugation of
women and a
need to enforce Danish culture and values.“We must be able to
see each other
and we must also be able to see each other’s facial
expressions,” Justice
Minister Søren Pape Poulsen said when the ban was passed in
May. “It’s a value
in Denmark.” A significant portion of the Danish population
favored the ban:
62% supported a ban on the niqab and burqa according to an
opinion poll from
last September.

that liberal
Europe is starting to unravel at the seams
Denmark is still a homogeneous country: 87.6% of the country’s
population is
ethnically Danish and 75% of the population is Protestant
(based off
membership in the state-funded National Church). In recent
decades, the
country has struggled to integrate immigrants and their new
cultures. This year
alone, significant debate has raged over policies that seem to
target minorities.
For example, the country has weighed a citizens’ proposal to
outlaw
circumcision (mainly practiced by the country’s Jews and
Muslims) and the
immigration minister suggested Muslims do not work during
Ramadan because
they pose a safety hazard. And more concretely, the government
passed a series
of laws to eradicate “ghettos,” neighborhoods with social
problems where more
than 50% of residents are non-Western immigrants.
17. to live as a Dane?”
Fighting for the Right to Wear the Veil
Asserting the right to live as a Dane while wearing the niqab
has been the goal
of Kvinder i Dialog since it officially launched in January. The
group, which has
grown to approximately 60 niqabis and allies, has hosted open
houses, stood
on the street handing out flyers, visited high school classrooms
and
participated in debates on the issue, all in the hopes of trying to
help their
fellow citizens understand their choice. “We were saying to
everyone, just ask
us whatever you like,” Sabina says. “Let’s talk about it.”
By becoming more visible, Kvinder i Dialog has been able to
change some
minds. “If you are forced to wear it, I would not understand
why you are
fighting so much for it,” Sabina recalls a woman telling her at
an open house.
But it hasn’t always worked. Politicians have refused to take
their meetings and
18. they’ve received hateful responses on their social media posts.
Part of the problem is that many Danes have never seen, let
alone met or talked
to, a woman who wears the niqab, Sabina says. That fueled
misconceptions
about the background and motivations of the niqabis. Half of
the women that
Warburg found in her 2009 study were ethnic Danes, for
example, as recent
converts tend to be more devout in their religious expression.
Further, women
wear the niqab as a way to challenge and deepen their faith,
Warburg says. She
did not find evidence that there were women being forced to
wear the veil in
Denmark.
Women who choose the niqab say oppression has not come from
the veil itself,
but from Denmark’s opposition to it. Sarah, a gregarious 30-
year-old student,
mother of three and another founder of Kvinder i Dialog, said it
was already
19. difficult to wear her face covering in public. Once a man
threatened to kill her
at a train station in front of her then 3-year-old son.
Despite this, Sarah, who was born in Denmark to a Muslim
family and speaks
Danish as her first language, grew up believing that the
country’s tradition of
tolerance would protect her religious choices and allow her to
follow her
dreams of studying engineering and starting her own business.
Now Sarah—
who asked TIME to only use her first name to protect her
privacy—is
considering switching to e-learning to finish her courses, and
her husband has
agreed to take full responsibility of picking up their children
from school and
running errands.
“If I want to go somewhere, I really have to think about it—is it
worth getting a
fine?” she says, bouncing her curly-haired 7-month-old daughter
on her lap
during a preparation workshop for the protest on Wednesday. “I
20. have never felt
like a victim before. This is the first time I’ve felt oppressed.”
Still, she sees the veil as a source of power as she begins life
after the ban. “You
have to be very strong to wear the niqab in Denmark,” Sarah
says. “We are not
going to lie down and let people kick us. We are going to fight
to the end.”
