(Euronews) A group of Muslim women wearing modest [beachwear] were harassed by a group of women in northern Italy claiming that they can’t go in the water with their clothing.
A group of Muslim women were about to enter the water at a beach in the northern Italian city of Trieste when women behind them started berating them about their clothing, claiming that they aren’t allowed to go into the water with clothes on.
According to Italian media, a group of women started shouting “you can’t go in the water dressed like that” and prevented them from entering the water.
Other beachgoers defended the Muslim women, stating that they have a constitutional right to dress as they please; others backed the actions of the women harassing them claiming that what the women were doing wasn’t “hygienic.”
