This briefing paper authored with support from the intersectional women’s collective S.P.E.A.K. aims to support Muslim women, campaigners, litigators, and other stakeholders challenging discriminatory and exclusionary religious dress bans by deconstructing the concept of neutrality and analyzing its treatment by various courts as well as its use in public and political discourse.
The paper, edited in March 2022 by Open Society Foundations and written by Willem Hutten and Nawal Mustafa, presents avenues for reclaiming neutrality to achieve equality and freedom, and for further legal action.
