Muslim women’s employment cases expose disputes over neutrality policies

📅 14 Maart 2017 📍 Belgium; France

The Court of Justice of the European Union delivered judgments in the Achbita and Bougnaoui cases. It distinguished general workplace neutrality rules from a customer’s wish not to receive services from a headscarf-wearing employee. Such a customer preference was not a genuine occupational requirement. Amnesty criticized the implications for women facing exclusion. The cases show contestation over supposedly neutral policies, not an unconditional authorization of every headscarf ban.
