Italy
The Christian Post reports that an estimated 3,000 women across Italy cover their faces.
An Italian parliamentary commission approved a draft law on Tuesday that would ban women from wearing veils that cover their face in public.
If passed, the new law would expand upon a pre-existing Italian law that does not allow the concealing of the face for security reasons.
France was the first country in the world to ban face veils with President Sarkozy famously stating “burqas are not welcome in France.”
