Christine Defraigne (born 1962[1][2]) is a Belgian politician and a member of the MR. She was the President of the Belgian Senate, in office 2014 to 2018.[3]
In 2009 Christine Defraigne proposed a nationwide ban of the burqa.[4] She has also called the burkini a "rejection of the freedom of women".[5] Her proposal (together with Joseph Arens) to stop slaughtering animals without anesthesia (like ritual slaughter) resulted in a ban on this practice in Wallonia.[6] She is a feminist.[7][8]

Defraigne in Tehran for a meeting with Iranian Foreign Minister Mohammad Javad Zarif
In 2016 she was criticized for wearing a headscarf while visiting Tehran. Her decision to visit the country and wear a hijab was heavily criticized by Iranian born Belgian activist Darya Safai who accused Defraigne of condoning oppressive policies created by the Iranian government.[8][9] She defended herself saying she "didn't do anything different from what other western prominent women do".[10]

De senaatsvoorzitster kreeg de afgelopen week, vooral van Franstalige kant, heel wat kritiek omdat ze tijdens haar bezoek een grote hoofddoek droeg. Het werd de MR-politica, die feministe en laïque is, niet in dank afgenomen dat ze dat symbool van onderdrukking van vrouwen droeg.
