This is a big concern and there is no room for oppression in our society. This does give a strong argument to ban the Burka but raises many other issues like being oppressive to women who chose to wear the Burka and I would be concerned that some women will become prisoners in their own home by dominate husbands or family members. It's a tricky issue to tackle.I’m a realist. Nobody is free to wear what they want, but I’d love for all women to be able to wear what we as a liberal western society deem to be acceptable.
That isn’t possible when you have women forced to wear a burka by the conservative version of Islam that dominates their life.
The best possible solution for now is to ban the burka. Yes, it’s telling women what to wear, but to a infinitely smaller degree:
Conservative Islam
What can women wear:
Burka
What women can’t wear:
anything else
Ideal Liberal Western democracy
What can women wear:
Loads of things
What women can’t wear:
Burka
