📅 16 May 2022 📍 France

Grenoble’s municipal council voted to change public-pool rules to permit burkinis, following advocacy by Muslim women and Alliance Citoyenne. The vote marked a local gain in the struggle for access to public recreation without abandoning religious dress. The change remained subject to legal challenge and did not establish a nationwide right.
