They have said that several cases have been presented in the KMDLNJ when covered females were discriminated against by jobs, or even when some elementary school students had left the school process, and have reacted several times.
However, the KMDLNJ considers that lynching or emigrating is a violation of human rights, while in terms of uninhibited cover, KMDLNJ considers this to be regulated by law and that it does not present human rights violations.
This Administrative Direction is still in effect in Kosovo, is applicable and in line with the Kosovo Constitution. As such, it cannot be rejected when eventually it would be abolished and for which changing the current constitution is necessary and which, at least so far, is not any such initiative”, the communiqué says.
They have further said that promises of political subjects during campaigns have not been proper and have only sparked unnecessary debates.
“Barta or the failure of the headscarf for students under the age of 18 has turned the saying completely into political campaign and is being done for political purposes. Not because religious rights and freedoms are lacking. In this context, public linkage is unacceptable and punishable by all who oppose the use of the headscarf for underage students and who seek to implement Administrative Guide in power and respect the Constitution of Kosovo. This link is also taking place in the form of a” campaign, says the communiqué.
The KMDLNJ, among other things, has found that any appointment or misappropriation of parent authority or custody that forces a female in senior age, under the age of 18, to wear the headscarf, poses flagrant human rights violations and, as such, must be punished by the respective institutions. I rely on laws in power where rights and obligations are clearly defined, KMDLNJ proposes a clear cut between public and religious educational institutions. In public educational institutions, as an identifying sign it should be a unique uniform, without allowing any religious symbols or garments, without any exception, so that no discrimination or supremacy of a belief, regardless of the number of practitioners”, is said to be allowed, among other things.
