Hijab ban News
Kazakhstan, a Muslim-majority country with over 70% of the population following Islam, recently banned the wearing of the hijab, niqab, and burqa. As per reports, the government cited obstruction in facial recognition technology as the reason and also emphasised promoting the nation's cultural attire over garments like the burqa and niqab.
