Shafaqna English- The French Council of the Muslim Faith (CFCM) condemned media and political harassment against women who wear Hijab amid discussions about potential ban in sports.
“Whatever their approach or life choices, these women have become an easy target in our country, scapegoated for many of our society’s ills. Some accuse them of communitarianism or entryism, while others claim to want to ‘liberate’ them from a supposed subjugation,” CFCM said in a statement that emphasized that the victim’s fundamental freedoms are being questioned.
CFCM underscored that Muslim women wearing Hijab are increasingly exposed to insecurity, as well as verbal and physical assaults.
