The Right to Cover

This petition was published by Seham Elansary on Sep 06, 2005

We, the undersigned, contend that the bans against head covers are illegal and a violation of human rights.

Veiled women (and head covered people) of the world, consider these bans to be a clear violation of their human rights. Everyone has the right to equal public education and employment regardless of the choice to cover. It is essential that human rights be protected under the law.

These bans are unjust and they negatively affect the social, spiritual, educational, and economical growth of millions of women/people around the world who chose to cover their heads. Moreover, these bans clearly breach and violate many articles of The United Nations International Laws.

We urge the United Nations to step in and take action against any government that passes or has passed a ban against the right to wear head cover.
