To me forcing the girls to cover their faces is another shit thing done to them.

Yes, but it is a very minor shit thing. It is literally just aesthetic and all cultures have dress norms.

Forcing women to cover themselves up from head to toe is a bit more than just a "dress norm". Should be able to choose.
