World Hijab Day
Every year, World Hijab Day honors the millions of Muslim women who choose to wear a hijab. It's also a day to encourage women of all races and faiths to wear and experience the hijab.
Most people around the world are aware that Muslim women wear several types of coverings. They wear these coverings to protect their modesty. They also wear them because they believe it helps them avoid male harassment. Most Muslim women wear the hijab, which is one of several types of clothing. (Momo women are only allowed to wear a hijab in Iran and Aceh's Indonesian province of Aceh.)
A hijab is a kind of headcarf that also covers the neck. Despite the fact that it seems to be a headscarf, the word "hijab" actually means "curtain" or partition." Hijabs are available in a variety of styles and colors, making them fashionable to wear. Women usually only need to wear a hijab when they are in the presence of men that are not a part of their immediate family. Some Muslim women choose to wear a hijab because they believe it promotes cultural unity. Others wear it because their faith encourages them to do so.

The history of the world hijab day has influenced the global hijab day
On February 1st, 2013, Nazma Khan celebrated the first World Hijab Day. Nazma is a Muslim woman who lives in New York. She wanted to promote religious tolerance and understanding by allowing all women to experience the hijab for just one day. When Nazma wore her hijab to school, she faced a lot of discrimination (especially after 9/11). She hoped to avoid this kind of discrimination by making this day. Currently, people from 190 countries around the world participate in World Hijab Day.
