'I feel so guilty': Muslim women discuss removing their hijab at work
European Court of Justice ruled in March 2017 that company regulations banning “the visible wearing of any political, philosophical or religious sign” did not constitute direct discrimination. This could be applied to religious outfit from all faiths, a requirement that legal experts say could also encompass a Sikh turban, Christian cross and a Jewish skullcap, among other religious symbols.
After the European Court of Justice ruling allowing employers to ban religious symbols in the workplace, three Muslim women in Valencia (Spain), Amsterdam (Netherlands) and London (UK) share their experiences of finding work wearing the hijab.
Do you agree with the European Court of Justice ruling that employers could ban wearing religious symbols in the workplace? What could be reasons for and against it?
