She pointed to the ban on hijab in Belgium as a significant barrier, adding that the laws and policies enacted in Belgium against Muslims make their lives more difficult.
Ochan noted that Muslim women face severe challenges in finding jobs and continuing their education due to the hijab ban in Belgium.
The leader of the Muslim Council of Belgium stressed that while the Muslim population in Belgium is nearly one million out of a total population of 13 million, simply having a large population is not enough to solve the problems Muslims face.
