World Hijab Day and Sample Clauses

World Hijab Day and a variety of enactments Adopting an inclusive, first person, perspective while explaining the reasons behind religious dress is one of the ways in which the bloggers make their counter-narratives relatable, simultaneously allowing them to engage with co-religionists, readers from other religious traditions and non- religious readers.

I pleat, fold, and fasten a piece of cloth over my head everyday before I go out, but the hijab means more to me than merely concealing my hair. In the religion of Islam, both Muslim men and women are expected to preserve their modesty, and from an Islamic point of view, the hijab contributes to the creation of a modest atmosphere.
