Protest Against Burka Ban In Portugal

Women wearing burqas march carrying protest banners during a demonstration in Rossio Square in Lisbon, Portugal, on October 25, 2025. Various groups call for a demonstration to protest against the Portuguese government's new regulations prohibiting women from wearing burqas in public spaces. Under the slogan ''We are not afraid!'', the organizers defend freedom of choice and denounce the advance of far-right policies. The mobilization also seeks to highlight social problems such as low wages, homelessness, and growing inequality, calling for a free, egalitarian, and fearless society.
