I am wearing a hijab in support of women from all corners of the world in their freedom of choice to wear what they want. I think that any woman who wears a hijab for their own personal reasons is amazingly strong and their confidence is something to be admired.
Unfortunately modesty is something that has been lost to a lot of the west, but seeing Muslim women wearing their Hijab proudly makes one really think about their own modesty and what things we can do to be seen for more than just our bodies, or our hair or whatever physical features we are putting forward to the world.
I support all women from all walks of life in their rights and freedoms on any and all levels. I think World Hijab Day is a brilliant idea. It is a great way for fellow women to support each other regardless of your religion.
