Women that wear burqas could be victims of abuse, attacks, beatings, tortures, and much more, but nobody would ever know, so no one could help. The burqa hides the entire body. So nobody would be able to see bruises, cuts, or scars. A woman could be forced by her husband or another man to wear the burqa to hide everything that he has done to her. A woman could also choose to wear the burqa herself to hide things she has done to inflict harm on herself. Depression could make a woman do things like this, and a burqa would help her cover up all of the scars. With the burqa ban in place, it can make women that are suffering seek help instead of hiding
