Young Muslim women in Germany | DW Documentary

Описание: Miriam and Tua, two young Muslim women who grew up in Germany. They tell their very personal stories.

Germany is home to around 5.5 million Muslims. Studies estimate that approximately 30 percent of Muslim women wear a headscarf. The veil is a frequent topic of debate in Germany. Courts have ruled against general bans, citing violations of religious freedom guaranteed by the German Constitution. But many people believe that Islam and headscarves don’t belong in Germany. Another widespread opinion is that women who wear the veil are oppressed and of a weak disposition. Miriam und Tua vehemently oppose this view. In this documentary, they describe how they feel torn between cultures and what their religion means to them, as well as their experience of discrimination and racism and not least, their hopes for the future.
