This international women's day the Swiss have banned the burka, this caused a lot of trouble in France when it was instigated.
Banning a burka is a bit like banning a mini skirt, it reveals nothing but intolerance.
Whatever your feelings about revealing or covering up your body enforcing it on someone else without a really good reason is foolish.
As Aung San Suu Kyi has found herself yet again facing the gun in what should be a democracy I will add this: in some parts of the world flip-flops are banned on building sites.
There is a reason for regulating attire on a building site, there is little for wandering about wherever you may find yourself.
