ACTION
ALERT
Continued Pressure for ProHijab
The Assembly for the Protection of Hijab calls on all people to take
action in support of human rights and the fundamental freedom of
religion. Please write to your MEPs expressing condemnation of the
growing ban being placed on Hijab. A sample letter and MEP contact
details can be found at

Muslim women in France, Germany, Belgium and many other countries are
being denied their most basic human rights - that of freedom of
thought, conscience, and belief - which are enshrined in numerous
International Treaties.
The ban on Hijab gives rise to serious and profound concerns. Such
discriminatory legislation will alienate Muslim women and their
communities in Europe, and hence have a deep negative impact
encouraging racism and hostility towards Muslims, thus stoking the
flames of intolerance and hatred.
Pro-Hijab, in conjunction with Caroline Lucas MEP, will hold a
European Parliament Lobbying Seminar on the 22nd of September in the
European Parliament. This seminar is an opportunity to lobby Members
of the European Parliament to support the right of Muslim women to
wear the
Hijab. A draft written declaration will also be presented, to
eventually be laid before the European Parliament.
Different speakers will address the impact of the ban on different
communities and testimonies young girls in France will be presented.
Pro-Hijab believes we must all act to ensure our freedoms remain
untouched and our rights inviolate.
Pro-Hijab urges everyone to write to MEPs today asking them to support
the right of Muslim woman to wear the Hijab and to stand against this
ban. A sample letter and MEP contact details can be found at
