Veil woman loses discrimination bid

Continuing her fight: Teacher Aishah Azmi

A Muslim teaching assistant who refused to remove her veil during lessons has won her employment tribunal case for victimisation against the school that suspended her, but lost her claims of discrimination and harassment.

Kirklees Council suspended Aishah Azmi, 24, after she refused to remove her veil while teaching at Headfield Church of England Junior School in Dewsbury, West Yorkshire.

The school said face-to-face communication was essential for Ms Azmi's job as a bilingual support worker.

The case fuelled an ongoing debate about the use of the veil and the way that the Muslim community integrates into British society.

Ms Azmi was awarded £1,000 for "injury to feelings" after she succeeded in her claim of victimisation. But her claims of direct and indirect discrimination, and her claim of harassment, were dismissed.

In a statement, Mrs Azmi criticised ministers who had intervened in the case and said it made her "fearful of the consequences for Muslim women in this country who want to work".

She said she was considering an appeal against the decision to dismiss three of her claims.

"It is clear that discrimination against me has taken place and I am disappointed that the Employment Tribunal has not been able to uphold that part of my claim," she said.

"I am taking the advice of my legal team at Kirklees Law Centre and will be looking to appeal against that decision. However, I am pleased that the tribunal have recognised the victimising way in which the school and the local education authority have handled this matter and the distress that has caused me."

Mrs Azmi, of Thornhill Lees, Dewsbury, has said she was willing to remove her veil in front of children - but not when male colleagues were present.

when she went for job interview without her veil,there must of been no men on the interview panel.

She keeps talking about her rights,what about the rights of the children in the classroom? these children are entitled to proper and effective level of communication skill development, achieved by verbal and non verbal facial communication and body language.The school acted in the interest of the most important person the PUPIL.
If she believes in her role as an assistant teacher she would put the development of her pupils first!!!!!!!!! and not herself

Although human migration has existed for hundreds of thousands of years, immigration in the modern sense refers to movement of people from one nation-state to another but in england you can take the piss, where they are not citizens. Immigration implies long-term permanent residence by the immigrants: tourists and short-term visitors are not considered immigrants. However, seasonal labour migration (typically for periods of less than a year) is often treated as a form of immigration. The global volume of immigration is high in absolute terms, but low in relative terms. The UN estimated 190 million international migrants in 2005, about 3 percent of global population. The other 97 percent still live in the state in which they were born, or its successor state.

The modern idea of immigration is related to the development--especially in the 19th century--of nation-states with clear citizenship criteria, passports, permanent border controls, and nationality law. Citizenship of a nation-state confers an inalienable right of residence in that state, but residence of immigrants is subject to conditions set by immigration law. Immigration without official approval can be a crime under these laws, and even if it is not defined as a crime, they usually provide for the detention of illegal immigrants. The nation-state also made immigration a political issue: by definition it is the homeland of a nation defined by shared ethnicity and/or culture, and in most cases immigrants have a different ethnicity and culture. This has led to social tensions, xenophobia, and conflicts about national identity, in many developed countries.
