Many places in the developing world are in chaos currently. Strongmen on every continent clinging to power by any means.

Sounds like they just reaffirmed the 2017 ruling.
Things like this make me so glad we brexited
I agree with the verdict if the aim is to maintain the neutrality of the work environment.
We used to have uniforms for a reason and we deviated from it with an understanding that we would maintain a proper dress code which would be neutral in terms of income, religion & sexuality.
Women especially completely violate these codes. I have seen quite a few wear slacks rather than trousers, sleeveless tops with frills. Itâs ridiculous. Be glamourous elsewhere.
Plain/Stripped Shirts, Formal TrousersâŚStick to the damn protocol.
And yeah headscarf can go as well. You can live without it.
Lol this is just so ignorant I wouldnât even know where to start. Itâs got nothing to do with neutrality. Wearing a scarf to cover your hair is not an issue.

A headscarf affects absolutely nobody. Cowardly decision, fucking hell fire.

Itâs a religious expression.
Do you see anyone else apart from Muslims wearing it voluntarily?
No because it is not a voluntary desire.
It is a religious expression and ideally shouldnât have any place in workplace.
This goes for everything, not just headscarf.
Same goes for Kirpan for Sikhs, Excessive bangals that Rajasthanis wear, Hindu Pagdi etc etc.
None of those things affect anybody but it is out of place

When I was growing up in Catholic 80âs and 90âs Ireland yes, absolutely. Itâs basically not a thing anymore though.
Donât think they were called hijabs mind.

Yeah bigger things to discuss than religious artefacts in the workplace.
Bigger for who? Itâs not a religious âartefactâ itâs an important part of a Muslim womanâs identity. Taking that opportunity for her to work in certain places away from her unless she adheres to some restrictive new law is frankly deplorable.
I come from a Muslim family, my mother and my sisters all proudly wear their headscarf and it offends nobody of sane mind nor is it some overt religious expression which impacts upon their ability to do their job or be professional at work.

Yeah doesnât cause any threat but itâs not stopping someone from working either. Iâd rather wear my own gear for work but itâs not allowed.
Had enough religious nonesense causing issues everywhere in the world since ive been born.
Seems to me when people go around with the respect religions stuff, that nobody who doesnât believe gets any respect at all.

But it would. A lot of Muslims subscribe to the belief that a Muslim woman must wear a headscarf so if you stop someone who identifies with that belief from wearing a headscarf then you are creating an unnecessary barrier between that person and work.
Someone can still wear a full work uniform with a headscarf. Itâs such a minor issue that banning it is part of an obvious and continued attempt to make life difficult for Muslims in Europe.
Maybe you arenât a huge fan of religion and thatâs fine, neither am I. Iâve long left religion behind me, but I cannot ever support something like this. Itâs oppressive

On the flipside, it gives women a good & valid excuse to move away from the patriarchaly imposed attire and have some freedom
Lol not everyone who wears a headscarf is some brutally repressed woman who deep down desires freedom.
Such a stupid thought process. Nobody makes my mum or my sisters wear a headscarf, and some of my sisters donât wear it. (2 do, 2 donât).
None of them are oppressed, they are all happy with the choices they make.
