As reported by France 24, Islamic migrants in French suburbs in the south are segregating public areas based on sex, shunning women from cafés and public areas. Such segregation was demonstrated in a shocking hidden-camera video of women attempting to attend such public spaces where they are clearly not welcome. One woman tells France 24 that she and other women try to wear black and avoid skirts and red lipstick in attempt to “blend in.”
Although some female activists are bravely answering the discrimination by staging frequent marches through the quasi no-females-allowed areas, the issue still remains a huge problem. This is in no small part due to the fear women admit to feeling when they attempt to ignore the pressures and venture to locations they are not allowed.
