“Insider Perspectives and the Human Rights Debate on Face Veil Bans” (avec E. Bribosia), in E. Brems (dir.), The Experiences of Face Veil Wearers in Europe and the Law, coll. Cambridge Studies in Law and Society, Cambridge University Press, 2014, p. 163-183.
The ‘burqa bans’ adopted in Belgium and France and contemplated elsewhere in Europe, have mobilized human rights activists andscholars, who are nearly unanimous in accusing governments and public authorities banning face veiling of violations of religious freedom and discrimination on grounds of religion as well as gender. Yet like the governments banning the face veil, the human rights activists did not have much information at their disposal concerning the experiences of women wearing it. In this paper, the human rights debate about the face veil is revisited, taking into account the insider perspectives of those women.
