The bans are disgusting and infringe the right to free expression, which is a human right.
I also find it ironic that a lot of supporters of these bans will say they are helping women, because some women are forced to wear the burqa against their will. That's all well and good, but some women actually want to wear the burqa, so you are in fact forcing these women to wear something against their will. By banning the burqa, you become the oppressor.
There is a simple solution to this: ban people from forcing other people to wear specific clothes. If a woman is being forced to wear certain clothes by someone, they can report that person just as they could if he/she were hitting them.
