Indonesia bans mandatory Islamic 'hijab' scarves for schoolgirls

Indonesia has told public schools that they will not be allowed to make any religious attire compulsory. The order has come after it was revealed that a schoolgirl, practising Christian faith, was forced to wear a headscarf in her class. She is a 16-year-old girl who attends a school that has made it compulsory for children to wear the Muslim headscarf. After the 16-year-old Christian girl's story went viral, the government has given 30 days to all schools to reverse and revoke any such existing rules in their schools.

The move was applauded by rights activists, who say non-Muslim girls have been forced for years to wear a hijab in conservative parts of the country.
