They can and will. There's a lot less visibility of muslim women on streets after burqa bans have been implemented. Those who come from groups sensible enough not to require that particular piece of clothing are still around, but the women from cultures that enforce its wearing are now essentially trapped within their homes 24/7.
The idea of the burqa and the misogyny behind it must be dealt with, but a blanket ban without trying to expose and educate the culture behind it is not the way to go.
that sucks
I think the long term solution is education to eradicate these shitty cultures
