Islamist group campaigns against Christian West Bank school over hijab restriction on deaf student

An Islamist group, the Popular Movement to Overturn CEDAW, has launched a campaign against the Christian-run Ephpheta Paul VI Institute in the West Bank. The group claims that the school prevented a deaf student from attending classes because she was wearing an Islamic head covering, or hijab.

The controversy centers on the institution's enforcement of its dress code versus the student's religious expression. The campaign brings attention to tensions surrounding religious practices, educational policies, and minority rights within the West Bank.
