Headscarf ban on Flemish schools

After the Swiss decided for a minaret ban by referendum, the Swiss TV-program ’10 vor 10′ wants to have a closer look at anti-Islam legislation in the rest of Europe. Besides France now also Belgium has decided to ban head-scarfs on schools.

In Antwerp the last two schools decided to ban head scarfs as well, resulting in demonstrations and in girls staying away from school. Some young Muslim women and some Flemish feminists decide to establish the ‘boss over our own heads’ organisation.

Europe correspondent Christoph Nufer from Swiss public TV travels to Antwerp to produce a background reportage for the TV program ’10 vor 10’ about the Flemish headscarf ban.
He interviews and portrays the head master of one of the schools that just introduced the ban and one of the founders of the ‘boss over our own heads’ movement.

For this background reportage Featurez gave advice, did the research, set-up and planning and accompanied the filming.
