SUMMARY

The Hijab law is a contentious piece of legislation. It primarily targets the wearing of the hijab by women in public spaces. Some individuals argue that it is useful in promoting national identity and secularism by doing away with overt religious symbols in public institutions, and that it helps liberate women from oppressive structures. On the other hand, opponents criticize the law as an infringement on religious freedom and as an act of oppression or discrimination against women.
