The referendum for banning burkas passed back in 2021. This is nothing new. Just the effect of what was already voted on
A few years ago it was fines for not wearing a mask lol
Good!
Thank goodness
love it
About time.
This week a i saw a woman in a brown burqa, gloves and everything, but instead of the face cover part of the burqa she had a simple brown surgical mask to cover her face.
The question is. Is that against the law or not?
Where to get pounds though?
Good. We respect rules when visiting other countries, others can enjoy the same here.
I guess I’m an outlier but I don’t think it’s anyone’s right to tell citizens what they can and can’t wear.
This law is pointless and useless. Muslim women now just wear a medical mask instead. Rendering the whole reason of that idiot law moot. 99% of women who wear the burqa in Switzerland are tourists from Arabian countries… they won’t change their “customs” or whatever you wanna call it because a foreign government tells them to, lol.
Finally
About time
Will I still be able to cover my face to riot after a football game ?
racists and fascists. like trump in usa.far right in europe is on the rise too like in germany
Yes! Follow the law of the land or move.
If mainstream politics don’t deal with the worst extremes of immigration, then the electorate will go towards people like Trump
About time.
Why link to the daily hecking mail when there’s a perfectly fine swissinfo article?
OP, you want to instigate drama or imply religious hate with that title?
It’s not only Burquas but generally covering up ones face that’s illegal (exceptions apply).
This only restricts the life of people who are already living under religious constraints. They will leave less the house and more prone to abuse and mental health issues.
I believe there is also a ban for them in Bavaria, but they get away with it because they use face masks. Personally, I think ANY clothing used to oppress women has no place in the west. (Or anywhere.)
I’m glad they’re making this more “public” because I still see this in Switzerland every now and then. Its so sad.
Ah yes r/switzerland brave and tireless defenders of women. Just don’t post about female parking spots being closer to the doors…or maternity leave.
I am very conflicted.
On one hand, the personal identity is a universal human right. I don’t think it’s negotiable. Safeguarding fundamental rights justifies this kind of interventions.
On the other hand… how often rights have been defended through fines??
In a family where women are forced to wear a burka and are limited in their autonomy and decisions, is the head of the household going to concede rights because of a fine? Or is this going to add to unjust burden on women, which are not even “causing economic trouble” to the family if they leave the house?
lol. the swiss get mad at the dumbest things. this will definitely make you safer by banning the freedom of choice for like 10 women in the country! freedom prevails!
