Banning the whole facial smell cannot be considered a measure that liberates women. On the contrary, it is a dangerous and symbolic policy that violates freedom of speech and freedom of religion. “
“We call on elected politicians and the government to unequivocally support the fundamental rights of the country’s religious minorities and to commit to peaceful coexistence. The authorities must take steps to ensure that banning the full curtain does not marginalize or remove these women from public space.”
“The authorities must now strengthen measures to protect women who suffer from real violence and discrimination in Switzerland, regardless of religion or origin.”
