Activists launch initiative to help veiled women find jobs in France

Anti-Islamophobia activists in France launched the “Job Hijab” platform to help the country’s veiled women find job opportunities amid restrictions on wearing the veil in the country.

This initiative was welcomed by some tweeters on Twitter, as they confirmed that it is a good idea amid what is happening to veiled women in the country.

The Job Hijab account said via Twitter, that its goal is to help veiled women find job opportunities and training opportunities in various institutions or companies that allow the wearing of the hijab.

The account added that it also helps veiled women in writing their CV in a professional manner that increases their chances of entering the world of work.

The platform launched a donation campaign to develop its work and create its own application that facilitates the publication of job opportunities and better reach the target group.

Many veiled women interacted with the platform. One of the tweets said that the platform “came at a time when veiled women were suffering from bullying and marginalization”, while another said that “the platform’s activity should be generalized and more open to social networking sites to spread benefit.”

Veiled women in France have recently suffered from many restrictions, especially after the domination of the extremist right-wing parties in the legislative elections, which for the first time witnessed the rise of 89 deputies from the National Assembly.
