This R&D provides resources on French areas banning women from wearing a burkini, which is a burqa version of a swimsuit. Although some fashion companies are attempting to offer Islamic-friendly swimwear, some French communities have banned the dress, arguing that it is a religious symbol that violates the country’s secular norms. Opponents of the bans say that they are unnecessarily discriminatory.
