Title | LF v SCRL and the CJEU’s failure to engage with the reality of Muslim women in the labour market |
Authors | Howard, E. |
Abstract | This article analyses LF v SCRL, a case from the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) regarding the wearing of the Islamic headscarf in the workplace. LF was turned down for an internship with SCRL because she refused to take of her headscarf, which she was wearing for religious reasons. The article places this case within the previous CJEU cases concerning headscarves and the critique raised against these cases. One of these - that the CJEU does not engage with the effect of bans on the wearing of religious symbols in the workplace on the employment opportunities and wider integration of Muslim women – is examined in more detail. It is submitted that this failure clashes with a number of EU values. |
