Several Western countries including France, Spain and Canada have proposed laws which would ban Muslim women from wearing a Niqab in public spaces. A niqab is a cloth that covers the face and is worn by some Muslim women in public areas. In 2015 legislators in Urumqi and Xinjiang passed laws prohibiting residents from wearing burqas in public.
