Tajikistan has had an undeclared ban on the hijab for years. Now that the bill has been passed in the parliament, it has received the approval of the Government. There is also an undeclared ban on having a big beard in the country. In 2007, the Ministry of Education banned both Islamic dress and Western-style miniskirts for students and later extended the ban to all public institutions.
