Kenza Drider
As of April this year, it is illegal to wear a face-covering veil or other maskings in public places in France. Things are about to get even more interesting, as Kenza Drider declared her candidacy for the French presidency yesterday. And she did it wearing a burqa. She also showed off a campaign poster of a veiled woman standing in front of a line of police.
She is among a group of women mounting an attack on the law that has banned the garments from the streets of France, and prompted similar moves in other European countries. They are bent on proving that the ban contravenes fundamental rights and that women who hide their faces stand for freedom, not submission.
During her speech Drider said that “when a woman wants to maintain her freedom, she must be bold.”
