Huzoor Anwar atba said: In Switzerland, a girl filed a lawsuit and claimed that she feels embarrassed swimming alongside boys, as her school strictly enforces mixed swimming; she ought to be given permission to swim separately with only girls. The human rights organization, who claims to be the flag bearers of human rights, remarked that it is fine if you wish to swim separately. It is your personal right, but it is not such a big issue that the decision be made in your favour. Even human rights organizations start making excuses when it comes to the teachings of Islam and the modesty of women. Hence, in such circumstances, Ahmadis should be more cautious than ever before. If swimming is mandatory for young boys and girls in schools in some countries, then they can swim in a full swimming dress, i. e they should swim wearing proper swimming attire which is called Burkini nowadays. This will make them realize that they need to put on modest clothing. Parents should also make their children understand that swimming ought to be separate for boys and girls and must also make efforts in this regard. ”
