Amnesty International has condemned France’s proposed ban on the hijab in all sports competitions, stating it would violate human rights and disproportionately target Muslim women and girls. While framed as a neutrality measure, the ban would uniquely restrict their right to participate in public life, imposing barriers that non-Muslim women would not face. The Constitutional Council is set to review the bill, but Amnesty argues that restricting religious expression in sports is unnecessary and only deepens existing inequalities.
