Niqab: A Free Woman's Choice
As a British woman I believe it is my right to decide how I wish to dress my body.
I can not accept that in 2013 "Privileged" Members of Parliament are trying to dictate that a woman's choice to veil her face is a sign she is oppressed?
How many of them have gone beyond Whitehall to ask women what they want? We certainly don't need State intervention on how to dress what will it be next what days of the week you can have your period?
The United Kingdom is a multicultural society where we welcome diversity and people from all different ethnic and religious backgrounds.
That is what makes us proud to be British. Respecting another persons faith and dress code is not a threat to our borders nor our national security.
Please sign this petition if you agree that aristocracy and a bunch of men can not tell women how to dress.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
