The Egyptian government has announced a ban on the wearing of the face-covering niqab in schools from the beginning of the next term on 30 September.

Education Minister Reda Hegazy made the announcement on Monday, adding that students would still have the right to choose whether to wear a headscarf, but insisted it must not cover their faces.

He also said that the child’s guardian should be aware of their choice, and that it must have been made without any outside pressure.

    🤣 What the hell is this comment? You honestly believe women want to wear black beekeeper suits?

    I can’t believe how blind people are to the suffering and degradation of women brought on by the Muslim fate.

    Imagine they required, instead of women, all black people to wear this shit? Would you be here telling people “jUsT lEt bLaCk pEoPlE wEaR wHaT tHeY wAnT!”

    These outfits, and forced make guardianship are inhumane vile bullshit and needs to be eradicated.
