Interdiction du burkini en France

Stage committeeUpdated 7d ago

This is an ordinary bill (proposition de loi) introduced in the French National Assembly during the 15th legislature. Based on its title, it would prohibit the burkini, a full-body swimsuit associated with Islamic dress, in France. The metadata does not show the bill's exact provisions, penalties, or current stage. It is a national French measure, not an EU law, and it has no direct EU legislative counterpart. If adopted, the bill would primarily affect Muslim women and girls who wear the burkini, as well as local authorities and public pool or beach operators who would enforce it. The proposal also touches on wider debates about religious freedom, secularism (laïcité), and public order.
