A government-appointed committee focused on minority women recommends banning girls from wearing headscarves in primary schools, since primary schools in Denmark mean all the stages preceding the secondary level known as Gymnasium, which students enter at approximately sixteen years of age.
According to the committee, the reason for this is the fact that wearing a headscarf shows that Muslim girls are different from Danish girls.
وصرحت كريستينا كرزيروسياك هانسن رئيسة اللجنة ورئيس بلدية هولبيك بالقول لموقع الإذاعة الدنماركية DR: “ينصب تركيزنا على ضمان حصول الفتيات اللائي لا يتمتعن بنفس الحريات مثلنا على هذه الحريات. الشيء الذي يشغل مساحة كبيرة هو مسألة الحجاب والفتيات اللواتي يرتدينه في سن مبكرة للغاية”.
According to the authority, the ban on headscarves in primary schools should apply to private schools, government schools, and independent schools.
In total, the committee this time presented nine recommendations addressing ethnic minority girls.
وبالإضافة إلى حظر الحجاب في المدارس توصي اللجنة بأن مجموعات الأطفال في دور الحضانة “يجب أن تعكس السكان”. يجب أن تكون هناك دورات حول تربية الأطفال الدنماركية الحديثة “للآباء من الأقليات العرقية المختارة”.
Sex education in primary schools should therefore be strengthened, according to a press release issued by the committee.
The committee was formed by the current Social Democratic government at the beginning of 2022.
ووفقاً لوزارة الأجانب والاندماج فيجب أن تقدم توصيات بشأن “كيف نضمن في الدنمارك أن تتمتع النساء من أصول أقلية بنفس الحقوق والحرية التي تتمتع بها النساء الدنماركيات الأخريات”.
Regarding the first meeting of the committee on March 8, which is International Women’s Day, it was announced that there would be three sub-recommendations during the following year.
The first part is about children, while the next part is about teenagers, young adults, and then adults.
Immigration and Integration Minister Kaar Dybvad Beik declined to comment to Danish Broadcasting Corporation (DR) on how the government views the recommendations issued by the committee.
It should be noted that the committee's recommendations are not binding on the Danish government and parliament.
