Story summary

In early 2024, Azerbaijan saw protests among school pupils who were upset over reported restrictions on wearing headscarves in schools. Videos circulating online showed students boycotting classes and protesting outside their schools. The controversy stems from a new government policy aimed at establishing a secular dress code, which reportedly bars hijab-wearing teachers and students from entering educational institutions. This move by the Azerbaijani authorities has sparked significant public outcry among those who support religious expression in educational settings.
