Deconstructing prejudices in Canada

Andreanne Pâquet explains how “Ce qui nous voile” was started to help deconstruct prejudices and the impact of this initiative.

“Ce qui nous voile” is an initiative based in Quebec, Canada that was started by Andreanne Pâquet. After her experience of working in secondary schools in Quebec, she noticed many prejudices towards Muslims but specifically Muslim women who wear the veil. “Ce qui nous voile” set up an exhibition to show portraits of veiled women and to explain their motivations for wearing the veil. This provided an opportunity to bring different communities together to meet and speak to one another.
