The U.N. Study states, "Women are often subjected to strict codes of clothing; this applies in some Islamic countries to restrictions in the teaching and other professions." "In other situations women themselves desire a from of dress approved by their religion." Since this U.N. Study was written, a report in France has recommended a law be enacted in France to restrict religious clothing in public schools to preserve the secular tradition.
