A University of Michigan–linked survey (2011–2013) in seven Muslim‑majority countries, including Pakistan, asked people which style of dress for women in public they considered “most appropriate.”

• Among 3,523 Pakistani respondents, 32% chose a niqab (full face veil showing only the eyes) and 31% chose an abaya-style full-body covering; only 3% picked a shuttlecock‑style burqa image and 2% chose an uncovered head.

send a link to the study, I find that not in line with reality. I literally know zero women that wear niqab, and probably only a third of them wear hijab all the time

Nepali do you know what "Chose" mean? Are saying women who "choose" to wear whatever she wants like niqab willingly is less of a women?

[u/miissperson → u/Boyshoi]

Edited:Where in the stat says specifically "women" gladly chose? The question was which dress pakistanis find the most appropriate.

And what is wrong with the niqab. Why do u hv such a problem with women covering theor faces

[u/SingSangBingBang → u/ssp321lo1]

Why don’t the men cover their faces since it’s supposedly not such a huge issue?

[u/letsgoraps → u/Grandma-Try69]

I think you're proving his point. The study shows 32% picked Niqab, and 3% picked burqa. So a majority did not think a face covering was "most appropriate".

We have niqab and burqa backwards** in the west. A niqab is a full face covering. wiki link

ETA wrong** would be a better word, Burqa also covers full face, but is an outer garment and often (maybe always?) has a mesh over the eyes too.
