France’s latest legislative move to ban the wearing of hijab in public by Muslim girls under the age of 18 has sparked fierce condemnation on social media platforms with widespread use of the hashtag #HandsOffMyHijab.
The French Senate’s move against the hijab – a widely diverse headdress worn by practicing Muslim women – came earlier this week as part of a persisting push by Paris to impose a so-called “anti-separatism” law that purportedly aims to reinforce the country’s secular system.
The move is seen as yet another Islamophobic scheme to target the nation’s minority Muslim population.
