Women protest against Hijab ban in Turkey(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) – People in Turkey have held demonstrations in the country’s largest city, Istanbul, to protest against the ban on Islamic Hijab at universities and schools.
Chanting slogans in support of the Islamic Hijab in Fateh Square in Istanbul, the protesters called for the freedom to wear Islamic Hijab in educational centers.
The protesters also demanded that Turkish governmental organizations stop refusing to employ Hijab-wearing women.
Despite claiming to follow Islam, the Turkish government has not lifted the ban on the Islamic Hijab in educational centers and offices.
School and university students wearing Hijab in Turkey are regarded as the largest front of the fight against the Hijab ban in the public sector and educational places in the country.
Following the implementation of the Hijab ban after the coup of February 28, 1997 in Turkey, many of the headscarf-wearing women have faced difficulties in their social lives.
