Burkinis

The September 4th NYT reported that the ban on burkinis in more than 30 French beach towns has drowned out the voices of Muslim women. Anti-Muslim bias has intensified in various parts of Europe, but the reality is, many of these women are powerful politicians, social workers, leaders of government. One woman, a social worker, Nawal Afkir of Brussels, says, "I do my best to strive for a fair and free society. To me, wearing the veil does not mean being enslaved by a man. On the contrary, it means reappropriating the body and femininity."

 RONIT AND JAMIL is a story about freedom. So, too, is the story of women and their veils!
