During my journey, I found myself connecting with my body and learning to take care of it as I engaged in various sports, despite facing many challenges.
Although I was denied the right to play sports due to my turban, my fight transitioned into a broader struggle for recognition and freedom from discrimination as a Muslim woman.
The French Volleyball Federation's prohibition on religious symbols, despite its purported intentions of promoting secularism, has been wielded to restrict Muslim women's access to sports.
My experience reflects a larger issue: the misuse of laicite in France, which, rather than protecting, often undermines the rights of minorities, particularly in public spheres.
