I think the problem is that these women have probably been made to wear the burka, not by choice, all their lives. They may now feel comfortable in it, even if it is a symbol of repression. So by banning it in this situation, it actually does more harm to the woman by ostracizing them, so much so that they may choose it is better to not put themselves in a situation where they would be forced to remove it.

I'm not sure the solution to burka issue, other than, as usual, education and preventing young women being forced into the practice.
