It’s still my body and my choice

World Hijab Day 1st February

Wearing hijab for me belongs to the “my body my choice”. It is for no one to decide when or where I wear hijab. There is no law that should determine if I can or can’t wear it. Nor should there ever be laws that say I have to.

A lot of arguments have been made against WHD because it should promote the veiling of women. And it’s been argued there should be a no hijab day, where hijabis would have to unveil to know what it’s liked to be forced to something they don’t want to. But I don’t think even in 2021 any women in the west, east, north, south or even in space need reminding what oppression looks like, and what it is like to have others decide how we are to look, what we should wear. It is something that starts already in early teenage years. It’s something that we are reminded about every day. Act like this, don’t do that, why didn’t you do so and so.

Recently a very dear friend of mine who I’d asked to take a look at this styling had asked me “isn’t it at times uncomfortable, getting too hot”. A very valid question, especially from someone who has never worn one.
The answer is in short “yes, it sometimes do”. But why don’t we ask the same question to women having to wear specific uniforms depending on their work ? “Isn’t that tight/short skirt unpleasant to wear all day” “Don’t your feet hurt after a day in heels and standing up”
