Gender Equality Paris Olympics?’Not applicable’ to hijab-wearing French players

This year’s Paris Olympics, less than a month before the opening, are expected to be the first to have the same gender ratio for men and women.

The “Gender Equality Olympics,” which will be held at the home of the French Revolution under the banner of freedom and equality, is more meaningful, but controversy is expected in that “freedom and equality” does not apply to French athletes wearing hijabs.

Arab media Al Jazeera recently introduced the story of French women’s basketball player Diaba Conate.

Konate, who was born in 2000, was selected for the national team by age from the age of 17, advancing to the 2018 U-18 European Championships and the final of that year’s youth Olympics, and led France to victory at the 2019 World Beach Games.

After going to an American university, he began wearing a hijab at the age of 22, religiously influenced, and since then, he has never been selected for the French national team.

This is because the French Basketball Association has banned athletes from wearing equipment of religious or political significance since December 2022.

In this Olympics, not only basketball, but also in all sports, French athletes cannot play wearing hijabs.

This is because the French Sports Ministry said in September last year that it would ban its athletes participating in the Paris Olympics from wearing equipment of religious or political significance.

FIFA also allowed women to wear hijabs during games in 2014, but France’s highest administrative court ruled in June last year that there was no problem with the French Football Association’s rules prohibiting women’s soccer players from wearing hijabs.

“Athletes participating in this year’s Paris Olympics are allowed to wear hijabs, but French athletes are an exception,” Al Jazeera said. 동행복권파워볼

The BBC also recently reported that “sports rights groups are sending letters to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to allow French athletes to wear hijabs.”

“The ban on hijab violates the Olympic Charter,” Amnesty International said in a letter to the IOC. “Muslim athletes are discriminated against, and eventually lead to social isolation.”

Some also point out that France, which is leading the “Gender Equality Olympics” in this situation, is a typical example of “sportswashing” trying to hide the human rights situation in the country with sports events.
