Summary
The decree regulates the wearing of burqa and niqab, the face coverings originating from Arab cultures, which have become a serious problem in Europe. The explanatory note to the bill explains that the burqa is a female garment used in Islamic countries that covers the entire body from head to toe, leaving only a narrow window for the eyes. A niqab is usually a rectangular piece of cloth attached to the sides of a women's headscarf and covers the face so that only the eyes are visible. Europe In the course of the immigration crisis, it has come to light that human rights and the rights of individuals guaranteed by the constitution have come under pressure due to the religious and cultural differences of ethnic groups from third countries. The cultural background and customs of Muslims do not recognize equality between the sexes, as Estonian customs, culture and legislation stipulate. Harassing women by forcing them to wear the burqa and niqab is incompatible with Estonian customs or value system.
