SAFEST is hosting its tenth anniversary of World Hijab Day on February 1, 2022 Tuesday via Zoom.
In 2013 SAFEST joined Nazma Khan in starting a global movement “World Hijab Day” to fight discrimination against women in hijab after hate crimes against Muslims hit an all-time high since 9/11.
As women around the world gather to celebrate World Hijab Day, we as New Yorkers stand united to support our Muslim sister’s freedom to express their belief without fear. Let’s stand up against racism, misogyny and prejudice against them!
