Azerbaijan’s Hijab Restrictions Exclude Girls From School
Human Rights Watch reports that Azerbaijan’s restrictions on hijab-wearing are forcing girls who wear the headscarf out of school. According to the group, girls have been effectively barred from attending classes, raising concerns about religious freedom and the right to education in the country. Critics are calling on Baku to lift the restrictions and allow girls to return to their studies.
Why now: A major human rights organisation has drawn fresh attention to the policy’s impact on girls’ education.
