Title: Abaya ban – UN Secretary General implicitly compares
France to conservative “Islamist” countries
In a discreet allusion to the UN forum, Antonio
Guterres referred back to back to the countries "where girls are punished
because they wear too many clothes" and those where they are punished
"because they do not don't wear enough.
The Secretary-General of the United Nations, Antonio
Gutterres, delivered a long speech Tuesday from the podium for the opening of
the United Nations General Assembly. In the presence of Volodymyr Zelensky, he
spoke in particular of the situation in Ukraine, but also in Nagorno-Karabakh.
He also spoke of equality between women and men
throughout the world, and took the opportunity to criticize France in its
choice to ban the wearing of the abaya in public schools, through a circular
from the minister of National Education Gabriel Attal, reliever reported
lefigaro.fr.
In some countries, women and girls are punished for
wearing too many clothes” +
In this plea for equality, Antonio Guterres
declared: “‘We the people’ does not mean ‘we the men’. Women still expect equal
opportunities and wages, equality before the law, full valuation of their work
and consideration of their opinions”
A way of putting back to back the countries governed
by Islamist regimes imposing the wearing of the hijab or the abaya, under the
control of the moral police, and the French decision to prohibit the wearing of
ostentatious religious symbols in certain places like in public school.
+ “I denounce the clothing police everywhere” +
A speech substantially identical to that given by
several left-wing leaders since the start of the school year. The rebellious
Manuel Bompard declared on CNews and Europe 1 on September 6: “I denounce the
clothing police in Iran and I denounce the clothing police everywhere. Women in
Iran must have the opportunity to dress as they wish, but in France too.”
Then he spoke of the attacks on women's rights
which, according to him, hinder this equality in the world: “Across the world,
women's rights, including sexual and reproductive rights, are reduced, even
eliminated, and their freedoms restricted. »
The UN Secretary General then mentioned the
back-to-school controversy in France, without alluding to it directly: “In
certain countries, women and girls are punished because they wear too many
clothes. In others, because they don't wear enough. »
Guterres then continued: “Thanks to generations of
women’s rights activists, times are changing. From sports fields to schools to
public squares, girls and women are challenging patriarchy and triumphing. I am
at their side.”
The ban on the abaya in France had sparked reactions
abroad, notably in Turkey where many media outlets condemned the French
decision. “Total attack on Islam,” the daily Yeni Safak wrote on August 29,
painting France as an “Islamophobic fortress” and maintaining that half of the
country's mosques had been closed since Emmanuel came to power. Macron. Türkiye
describes as “fascist” the decision of the Council of State to validate the ban
on the wearing of the abaya
