Head-to-toe robes worn by Muslims, known as abayas for girls and women and khamis for boys and men, have been banned from France's public schools.
French Prime Minister Élisabeth Borne on Sunday rejected any accusation of unfair treatment with the introduction of this ban as the move was confirmed 24-hours ahead of classes resuming.
Muslims gather to perform the Eid al-Fitr prayer at La Grande Mosquee de Paris, in Paris during the first day of the Eid al-Fitr, April 21, 2023. Eid al-Fitr marks the end of Ramadan, the Muslim holy month of fasting. “There is one principle: secularism. And there’s a law prohibiting the wearing of any sign or garment by which a student manifests his or her religious affiliation. This law must be applied to everyone, and we’ll make sure that it is properly applied,” said Borne.
