After Uzbekistan banned garments that cover people's faces in 2023 and Kyrgyzstan did the same in January 2025, Kazakhstan government has announced a ban on face-covering garments in public.
Muslim women usually wear niqab and burqa to cover their entire bodies in public, but Kazakhstan is now citing security concerns as a reason for the prohibition.
“Wearing items of clothing in public places that impede facial recognition is prohibited, except in cases where this is necessary to comply with the laws of the Republic of Kazakhstan, fulfill official duties or for medical, civil defense, weather-related or event-specific purposes,” a new law reportedly states.
The new law implementing the ban was reportedly signed by Kazakhstan President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev.
