Before Switzerland, laws have also been made in countries such as Belgium, France, Denmark, Austria, the Netherlands and Bulgaria. In the year 2022, the Swiss Parliament voted on a law banning women from covering their faces. This time, 151 members voted in favour and 29 members voted against. The law was then passed. Earlier, in 2009, the construction of minarets (towers built around mosques) was banned in Switzerland through a referendum.
