Geneva is passing a law for swimming pools and public baths to ban the wearing of burkinis. However, the new law, which was passed by the right-wing majority in the Grand Council on Thursday evening, does not explicitly mention this clothing.

The new law stipulates that only one- or two-piece swimsuits are permitted in swimming pools, the maximum length of which reaches above the knees and leaves the arms free. This de facto excludes burkinis, as envisaged in a draft law by the SVP that was intended to criminalize this type of clothing.

This fucks up people who have skin conditions like photosensitivity. Great. J’en peut plus avec l’islamophobie.
