Voters in a Swiss canton have approved a measure banning girls under 16 from wearing headscarves in certain public settings. Supporters describe the policy as a child-protection and integration measure, while opponents argue it restricts religious freedom and disproportionately targets Muslim communities. The vote is expected to face legal and political scrutiny, including questions about constitutional rights and enforcement. Authorities must now clarify the ban’s scope, penalties, and exemptions before implementation, while advocacy groups consider possible further court challenges.
