Abstract

A wave of bans and restrictions on religious clothing is sweeping Europe. Schoolchildren, judges, jurors, civil servants, and employees are among the groups whose freedom to wear clothing which indicates their religion has been questioned, as has the right of governments, employers or schools to impose restrictions. The resulting debate has led to new laws or legal judgments in, among other countries, France, Germany, Denmark and the United Kingdom.
