Global Citizens For Justice - Against Niqab Ban

We, the undersigned, call on the above mentioned Governments to drop the niqab ban and allow equal opportunity of justice for all and the right of all citizens of the world to practice as they desire as stipulated in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.We also call on the UN to stop this transgression against human rights and manifest oppression.

The transgression and injustice that the niqab ban entails is tantamount to religious profiling and encroaching of basic human rights by the State in a dictatorial style wherein lifestyle and beliefs are governed and limited by the subjective logic of leaders.

This is no different than the oppressive actions of people that force women to wear it,because in either case it is essentially about what a woman chooses as her lifestyle and when bans like this are put into action it only acts to oppress and segregate women who are not willing to compromise on a question of principle.


Martin Luther King Jr.,the prominent activist who fought injustice in America said : " Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly."
