- What “total face veil” typically refers to: garments like the niqab or burqa that cover the face, sometimes subject to bans or restricted use in public spaces in various countries.
- Recent high-profile trends (noting that this is a rapidly evolving area): several European and other governments have introduced or debated bans or restrictions on full-face coverings in public spaces, often framed around security, integration, or public safety concerns. Enforcement and legal status vary by country and can change with court rulings or new legislation.
