UN racism rapporteur criticises Dutch burqa ban saying it has no place 'in a society that prides itself in promoting gender equality'
Tendayi Achiume, the UN Special Rapporteur on racism, highlights what she calls the"Dutch paradox" – which is that the Netherlands' perception of itself as tolerant stops it making any further improvements.
Tendayi Achiume, the UN Special Rapporteur on racism, said the ban reflected a wider "consolidation of Islamophobia" in the Netherlands. "The political debate surrounding the adoption of this law makes plain its intended targeting of Muslim women, and even if this targeting was not the intent, it has certainly been the effect," she said.
The UN expert said Islam more generally was "repeatedly represented – including in the national parliament – as inherently opposed to Dutch national identity".
