I'm ever read the arguments of Islamic law that says, if a woman lives in an environment that "vulnerable" and relative make harm to self or her honor damaged, then wearing a burqa is a obligation for a muslim women. Associated with the current state where turbans and burqas always imaged the identity of terrorists, it needs to be understood, actually wearing the burqa is not an obligation for Muslim women. The burqa actually the Arabic tradition of Arabs in the past time ago. Before Islam came, women entertainer (dancer belly dance) always wear a thin burqa. In fact, sometimes they dance accompanied snakes. This has become a tradition for centuries until this time, as far I know, it's dance was running. Based on this thing, judging from Islamic law, actually wearing burqa not a mandatory act or not an obligation for muslim women. In Islam, sunnah of worship divided in 3 criteria. - Behavior of Prophet (including stories, commands and his prohibitions) - Silence of the Prophet (not banned, nor mandatory) - Pledge of the Prophet (he would do although not accomplished) In vulnerable areas, the burqa could be a solution to keep self and honor a women muslim, but on the contrary, in the secure area, the burqa could make herself insecure and uncomfortable.
