Austria's Integration Minister Claudia Plakolm has outlined plans to address integration challenges, including a proposed headscarf ban for girls under 14. The initiative aims to ensure young Muslim girls can integrate freely into society, with measures like parental discussions and potential youth welfare involvement.
Plakolm also highlighted the strain on Austria's systems due to high migration, advocating for stricter family reunification policies and mandatory integration courses.
Additionally, she is considering tightening the Islam Law to address issues with certain mosques.
The minister emphasized the importance of preserving Austrian traditions while tackling extremism and promoting self-determination for women.
