In the short film Hijabi World, Rutgers University students—specifically, Muslim women who observe hijab—talk about the day-to-day challenges of wearing a headscarf. “Sometimes you itch in your own skin,” says one woman named Halima. These are the heartening testimonies of a handful of Muslim women about why they decided to wear the scarf and how it impacts their lives and religiosity.
There are many reasons to observe hijab - why did these women chose to wear hijab? What challenges might they face? How does wearing hijab impact their lives and choices? Have you seen women wearing hijab? What were your thoughts? Why?

The hijab is a veil worn by women to cover theirselves from men. The hijab is a political statement that they are comfortable in their own shoes. Some women wear hijab for identity or wear hijab for religious reasons. In the early days of Islam a sheet was placed between the women and the men to allow speech without changing their clothing.
