Why are burkinis banned in some countries?
Nel mese di giugno 2022, France’s top court blocked a bid that would allow burkinis to be worn at public pools.
Secondo Notizie CBS, it is an ongoing issue in France, where many see burkinis as a “symbol of creeping Islamization.”

In precedenza, Grenoble’s mayor, Eric Piolle, had changed the swimming pool rules to allow all types of swimwear for inclusivity.
“All we want is for women and men to be able to dress how they want,” Piolle said at the time, secondo CBS.

CBS notes that burkinis are banned in French state-run pools for hygiene reasons, not on religious grounds.

“Australians actually thought it was a fantastic idea,” she told the media outlet.
“The burkini did wonders for Muslim women and girls. It created confidence to get active. Now the French say it’s not their values. I don’t understand what French values are then. Is it French values to force someone to wear a bikini?"
Ha continuato: “I created [burkinis] to stop Muslim children from missing out on swimming lessons and sports activities.
