Manifestations contre la Loi de 2004

Manifestations contre la Loi de 2004, primarily in Quebec, refer to protests and opposition against the legislation aimed at regulating religious symbols in public sector workplaces, including education and government positions. Critics argued the law limited individual freedoms by restricting explicit religious expression, particularly targeting symbols like hijabs, turbans, and kippahs. Supporters claimed it promoted secularism and neutrality in public services. The protests reflected broader debates on religious freedom, cultural identity, and the role of religion in a secular society. Ultimately, the law's application faced legal challenges, leading to ongoing discussions about balancing secular principles with individual rights.
