France bans wearing abaya robes in state schools amid secularism debate

France will ban girls from wearing abayas in state schools starting in September.
The abaya ban aims to uphold France's secularism laws that prohibit religious symbols in schools.
The move has drawn a mix of support and criticism within France.
Critics argue it disproportionately targets Muslim women and girls.
It comes amid an ongoing debate in France about secularism and religious expression.
