European Diversity Campaign Featuring Hijab Faces Backlash
Channel: Atheist Republic
Date: 2021-11-17

Recently, ad campaigns by the Council of Europe (CoE), a human rights organization operating across the European Union, aimed at countering discrimination against European Muslim women who chose to wear the hijab have been pulled after online backlash. The CoE developed the campaign through the efforts of Muslim youth organizations in Europe to promote respect for Muslim women amidst growing anti-muslim bigotry. Some posters show veiled women and feature slogans like “Beauty is in diversity, as freedom is in hijab,” “Celebrate diversity & respect hijab,” and “My Headscarf, My Choice.” The most considerable backlash came from France, where full-face coverings have been banned in public places since 2010, and amidst a tense environment as the nation grapples with what many top officials call “Islamist seperatism.”  The CoE has removed the campaign while it “reflect[s] on a better presentation of the project.”
