World Hijab Day is an opportunity for people around the world to show solidarity with Muslim girls and women who are unfairly discriminated against for simply wearing the hijab (headscarf). It is a day to walk in the shoes of Muslim women to encourage religious tolerance, understanding and international solidarity.
World Hijab Day is among the few days of the year where people, irrespective of faiths, actively seek ways to show support to Muslim women. Every February 1st, women in over 150 countries will come together by donning the hijab to stand against bigotry, discrimination and prejudice faced by Muslim girls and women in hijab.
Whether you are an individual, educational institution, business, nonprofit organization, a member of any faith community, or any other type of organization, you have an amazing opportunity to be part of this global event.
