Students in Azerbaijan Protest New Restrictions on Hijab in Schools

10 Ekim 2026Al Jazeera

Students in Azerbaijan are protesting against a new dress code that limits hijab use in schools, highlighting concerns over personal freedoms.
Pupils in Azerbaijan have taken to the streets to protest against a newly imposed dress code that restricts the wearing of hijabs in schools. This move has sparked significant unrest among students who view the restrictions as an infringement on their personal and cultural freedoms.
The protests highlight the ongoing tensions surrounding religious expression in the country.
Azerbaijan has a complex history regarding religious expression, with the government often promoting secularism while facing criticism for restricting religious practices. The recent dress code is seen by many as a step back in terms of personal liberties, particularly for female students who choose to wear the hijab.
The protests reflect a broader struggle for personal freedoms and religious expression in Azerbaijan, where state policies often clash with individual rights. The reaction from the government and the public will be crucial in determining whether this movement gains momentum or is swiftly suppressed.
