I am a Christian and I don’t usually wear hijab. However, I would like to support all the women in the world that have decided to do it. I have met quite a lot of Muslim girls.  They are one of the most wonderful and kind-hearted friends I could imagine. Their hijab have always seemed to me something that show true female beauty and dignity.

I have never considered it to be a tool of oppression.

On this day in particular, I would like to do my best to show you girls my understanding and respect for your faith; to bring the people and religions together; to make you all feel powerful and proud to be women.

Lots of love from Poland!

When I first started wearing hijab, a lot of people treated me differently but in a good way. I remember walking in the mall so nervous because I was scared of what people will think since I live in Canadian society. It is rare to see white girls with hijab. One day, I was walking to go to work and I realized a lot of people were looking at me and facing down.

First three days were stressful but after a week I felt so good. I felt completely different and beautiful in it! People were respecting me so much more. I felt like a new me …just the fact that a lot of people were so nice and treated me differently made me so happy! Especially at work, my colleagues understood perfectly the fact that I wanted to wear it and they were also happy for me because they said I seemed happy that way and really different in a good way. The hijab makes you feel so much powerful and great …and reserved for someone that you know you are going to spend the rest of your life with.

It was an honor to walk side by side my Muslim friends who are part of my life for 30 years. My best friend is Muslim and nothing can change the way I feel about her. And what I feel is love, true friendship, support in every bad moment I had in my life. And we had it all…good times and bad times. Wearing Hijab I felt proud cause I was one of them. Every Christian knows that we must give love and understanding for all our sisters and brothers around the world. My sisters are Muslims, and I love them truly.  Religion, nationality or color are not important if we all stand together. My sisters showed the whole world they are proud wearing Hijab cause it’s the way they live. It is their choice and everyone should know and respect that.
