I have a fleeting point of view. Therefore I absolutely must share it.

People will look at that photo and say she can't be so religious or care that much about modest appearance. I would say that is unfair. Balkan Muslims are known to be generally less strict, but that doesn't mean there are no limits. What this lady alleges is very specific - she was asked to wear a particular dress that, as soon as she wore it, allegedly garnered her a frank and inappropriate proposition. So she refused to wear the dress again and was fired. Even if she has the wrong end of the stick and no religion at all she is entitled to object to this. Why would I side with her? Because she has been a waitress for some 14 years so clearly is happy to work with hospitality employers and well-behaved customers, which is all one can ask for. Her complaint is that she was asked, in her view, to cross a line and indicate her sexual availability. fwiw I don't know if the Rocket Bar is at all seedy, it might not be, but her experience in the industry suggests her claims can't be dismissed.

If she had the resources perhaps a great legal team would be investigating the character and previous activities of the alleged propositioners thus supporting her version of events.

The only thing that lets her case down is she was on a minimum wage, which suggests her terminated employment isn't a sudden fall from a stellar career path and doesn't warrant compensatory subsidies. But I imagine the damage claims are primarily for the distress and loss of dignity that she has suffered, and provided she's telling the truth I hope she wins.
