Women Try Wearing Hijabs For Hijab Day 

Who else is Muslim and never heard of hijab day?😂

I wear a hijab and whenever someone stares at me I just stare at them back until they break eye contact

Angelina Jolie: “The sun doesn’t lose its beauty when covered by the clouds. The same way your beauty doesn’t fade when being covered by Hijab"

I'm 12 and I am wearing a hijab in London and it's completely ok however some people may look at u in disgust or disbelief but I ignore them and continue wearing it

some people want to expose their bodies and some people want to cover it. it's their own bodies, it's that simple.

Im 19, muslim, worn a hijab for years, im from United arab emirates and let me tell you: I have a drivers lisence, my mother drives, my sisters drive, they have jobs, Im currently in college, we are taught by men, we work with them, and this is how my family works we go out with friends, we go to the movies, we go out for dinner, we travel in vacations, we've seen so many places in the world we eat good food and do fun things, and I'm still trying to figure out what part of my life is the "oppression" part 🤔 no i know not all muslim women have it as good as me but im all saying is that a hijab is JUST a piece of clothe in NO way does it stand for oppression if it doesnt prevent a women from getting education and living a normal life, which yes in some cases it does were muslim men prevent women from these things but thats because they twisted their faith to that, I mean I am a hijabi and I just love life, oppressed? Nah man if anything im too spoiled 😂 p.s. This is the case with many women in the gcc (gulf cooperation council countries) go to kuwait bahrain qatar, we study we work we travel, hijabs dont oppress us

That's amazing! I am an atheist, but I would wear a hijab to stand with my muslim sisters who deserve better!

I did his after Christchurch for two days recently a Muslim woman who regularly wears the hijab saw me (I was very nervous about it and my blonde hair wouldn’t stop poking out) and she gave me the biggest smile and hug it was really beautiful to make her feel happy.

I am a Christian woman and I've always loved the Hijabs. They look beautiful and modest ❤

I had these girls walk up to me on world hijab day and ask if I wanted to wear one with my septum ring and everything and I felt honored that they would allow me to wear it without being muslim. What was even funnier none of my friends asked or classmates asked me why I was wearing it or cared. I felt empowered when wearing it because It is a very peaceful and beautiful thing.

THIS COMMENT SECTION IS SO NICE AND POSITIVE OH MY GOSH I LOVE IT HERE

I want to wear Hijab, Unfortunately my dad and grandma would ever let me take on any other religion besides Christianity. Sucks to be them, I converted to Islam by myself

The girl in the brown scarf is so sweet and looks beautiful in the hijab

As a Christian, I would 100% support these girls and participate.

I am PROUDly Christian and we cover our hair when we go to church. I would totally cover my hair for Hijab day just to support other women

Me: *wants to go wrap their scarfs for them* 😩

It makes me so sad that these women have to live with these anxieties because of their religious expression, I was raised Catholic, but I would embrace wearing of the hijab and it’s beautiful meaning and stand with my Muslim sisters 💖

This whole Hijab situation is so suprising for me. I'm from India, so women wearing Hijab is completely normal here.

I wanted to convert to Muslim years ago, I was really nervous but now I am going to commit. I’m so excited but nervous.

I must have cried seeing such supportive people. Its so beautiful my mom was smiling like an idiot and saying Masha Allah. Masha Allah and may Allah bless these beautiful sisters and everyone else 🙏🙏

As a Muslim, I'm hurt hearing people say that I was forced to wear my hijab. I love my religion, and I love wearing my hijab. I'm from the Caribbean, and I used to get so much respect for wearing my hijab, I never knew that there were so many people who hated the way I dress until I moved to the UK, and trust me, the UK is not as bad as America. What I don't understand is why people get so upset over a choice I made. This is my life, and I should get to live it the way I choose. Why don't you say Mother Mary is wrong for covering her head? Or, why don't you tell the nuns to remove their headwear? And FYI, just because I'm a Muslim doesn't mean I'm a terrorist. In every religion, there are people who go to the extreme, so why single out mine? People form their opinion base on what is reported in the media, and then they start to judge a culture and religion that they don't know or understand base on what the internet says. I've never been to America, but I'm literally afraid to ever visit. I was offered a chance to go there with my university, but I chickened out at the last minute because I wasn't sure I'd be accepted. I wish people would just ask me why I am a Muslim, or why I'm wearing the hijab instead of assuming that I'm oppressed. I couldn't be more happy with who and what I am, and being a Muslim is a big part of my happiness. Also, for all of you who don't know, real practicing Muslim hate all those people who call themselves Muslims, but see no harm in killing. Killing in Islam is a sin, Allah says, that we did not give life so we should not take it. And for those of you who have never studied the Quran, please don't quote it. I as a Muslim can't even interpret the Quran myself, I have to get someone who is learned and well versed in the scripture to translate it for me. Another thing I'd like to add is, the Quran was revealed over 1400 of years ago, so please don't quote verses from the Quran that was written in a time when people of minority had to fight for their rights. There are lots of book in history that talks of war, and fighting for peace, I don't see people trying to ban those book, or calling those people terrorists. America was Indian territory before white men took it over, but yet they are not called terrorists, they are called founding fathers. Don't judge the majority on the actions of a few. Don't assume all women are forced to wear the hijab because of the few that are. Stop all the hate, please.

From a catholic woman to Muslim women, you are all so beautiful. Your hijab's are beautiful. As women we need to stick together and be there for one another. ❤

I'm Muslim and I never heard of hijab day. The girls look beautiful with and without a hijab.

I am a girl from turkey who wears hijab. I just wanna thank buzzfeed for such kind of nice video. I was a bit worried for people’s opinions about us abroad but this video took a load off my mind . Love u buzzfeed❤️

I think hijabs are beautiful and makes your head look nice without having to do a lot with your hair.

Not sure if someone already said it, but isn't it weird how humans make such a huge deal just because of a single scarf on the head? Even if it has a religious background, it's kinda like wearing a jacket or not wearing a jacket, there shouldn't be any difference just because of a piece of fabric

My Hijab Story: So when I was 5/6, I used to go to mosque to learn how to read the Quran so, I had to wear a Hijab. Once, I left it in my coat pocket and I was at school when it was break. My whole class was playing Tig and then I found out I had a Hijab in my pocket so I took it out. I have a wild imagination 😂 and I said that it gave me speed powers and just thinking about that, it encouraged me! 😂 I forgot to take it off after break and my teacher, who was a Muslim, was like, *You weren't wearing that in the morning, weren't you..?* and I was like inside my head *AAH SO EMBARRASSING I FORGOT TO TAKE IT OFF OMG* but it turned out that the rest of the day I actually liked having it on and I LOVED it when ppl talked actually it so I wore it the next day and many days after and I got used to it! I was wearing it for about a year or two, when I was 7, I had inspired a few people to wear it too and to not be shy. They were scared people moght bully them and I was like, dont let them get you! Youre gonna slay it! Then, when I was 9, I started to wear it wrap around, the more adult way? If u know what I mean. By then I had inspired like about 7,8 ppl and I was so proud of myself! ❤ And my parents especially my dad. He always encourages me to tell ppl about things in Islam and i really cant deny. It's so much fun just telling my friends more about our religion. Now it has been years and years since I started to wear it and I'm still inspiring ppl along the way. My two friends said that they would also start to wear it and I'm just so happy and I'm also excited to see how they will look in it! I LOVE days when there's an event going on like Eid, Weddings, Parties etc because we really have a lot of fun choosing our dresses and Hijabs, Hijab Accessories and Hijab styles. IT'S AWESOME WEARING A HIJAB, I'M SO THANKFUL FOR IT!! 😀😜💖

I am Christian and looking into wearing a hijab I feel a conviction in my spirit for several years for not covering and being modest.

What a woman chooses to wear on her head or elsewhere is not and never will be anyone's business but her own.

I'm confused. I didn't think you had to be Muslim to wear a hijab. I thought it depended on culture/preference, not the religion. But honestly, a Christian girl I seriously don't get why hijabs are such an issue. It's their choice, your hijab doesn't hurt me, and you look hella cute. Leave them alone, goodness.

At 3:40 the lady in green hijab is having a very lovely n smooth accent. I'm in love with it.

A perk of wearing hijab is that you never have messy hair days l But sometimes u have trouble finding some that match your hijabs... which is why I always wear grey

Here in the Netherlands there was a a politician who wanted to raise taxes on hijabs. One of my non-religious male teachers wore a hijab to his classes for a whole day, just to make a statement. He is such a cool man. Everyone should be able to wear whatever they want as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else.

I don't know why but I think women wearing hijabs are some of the most beautiful women... 😂❤

I love this!!! I am in the navy and have had Islamophobic comments and even people either staring or refusing to speak or look at me when I show up in a hijab when I wear civilian clothes. I still smile and greet them because it's better to continue being polite than to call people rude and ignorant.

Hijabs are so beautiful... My stepdad is muslim and I sometimes follow him to the mosque and attend service there, and of course I wear a hijab. My favourite is my black silk one, it's so soft and nice and makes me feel like a princess! I look forward to wearing it more when we go to visit family in Pakistan.

people are so ignorant to what a hijab means to these women and women all over the world. I am not a muslim and ive never wore a hijab, but one day in winter it was cold and I didnt have a hat or a hoodie so i wraped my head in my sisters scarf to keep warm. A random lady in the bathroom told me to take it off and i kept getting weird looks from people. fthis experience made me more aware of what people go through and the prejudice in this world. I learned that no matter what religon, what ethnicity, sexual orientation, or anything that makes you different is beautiful. Hijabs are beautiful, these women are beautiful. Keep raising awareness and be strong.

i can't live without my hijab it's a big part of me i just love it

It really makes me happy to see how many people support us Muslims on wearing hijabs. From the bottom of my heart, Thank you ♥️

I'm a 12 year old who started wearing hijab in July of 2018. My BestFriend and I both started the same day. It's amazing how you can be different and unique at the same time, the glares are not even important to me. ❤

I'm a Muslim surgeon and i totally love my hijab, I feel confident when I am wearing it, I just being my self. Nobody, ever forced me to wear it, it's entirely my decision. Their is something about modesty which is always attracting me. Also one should never judge others just because of their appearance, religion or nationality. It's inner beauty and personality that counts, well at least for me.

That non Muslim girl looks really pretty with a hijab

2:08 she looks stunning I'm speechless

A few months ago, I tried to start wearing a hijab. I am a young Catholic girl and I never thought that I could wear something like this, but I did lots of research. Doing that research, I found out that even people like me can wear a hijab and not be of the Islamic faith but of other faiths! Unfortionaly, I live in a republic state so my mom was scared for me. She let me do it for one day and it felt amazing. Suffering from anxiety and depression I never really felt beautiful, until that day. I was so incredibly happy to be wearing a hijab and I was finally happy with myself. But my mom was worried. She thought that people would look at me weird and would target me thinking that I was Muslim. At the time, I didn't care. I was happy! Then I talked with my therapist and promised that I would wait until I was older and it was safer for me to wear a hijab. I was so upset at the time but understood where they were coming from. I think that it is so sad that people just don't do research on things before jumping to conclusions about people. One day, I hope that everyone can do what makes them comfortable and not be afierd of what others will think, or be scared for thier safety.

They shouldn't be judged it's just a piece of fabric covering their hair what do other people want from them it's not the freaking business at all why cuz they want to see their hair people should not JUDGE

I'm Catholic and we don't wear Hijabs but I actually think they're very nice because it makes you focus on their true beauty

I’ve always wanted to wear a hijab but I’ve never wanted to offend people that wear them, I find them so beautiful

As much as hijaab is a sign of so-called "terrorism" it is more of a sense of respect. When an islamophobic person looks at you they hate you but the others just respect you and don't look at you with any wrong intention. Really appreciate and love the job these group of girls have done.❤️

I'm scared to read the comment section but here's the answers to the questions I predict are on there: 1) we don't all wear it 2) many almost most of muslim women wear it by choice 3) we don't shower with it or sleep with it 4) no we don't think of it as a symbol of oppression it's actually the opposite to us as it allows us to reclaim our body as our own 5) we don't wear it in front of family and friends (female friends) 6) it doesn't "stop us" or slow us down 7) it's NOT part of the law to wear a hijab in any arab muslim country EXCEPT saudi arabia, everywhere else they wear different outfits from revealing to full on hijab/nikab... there's a lot of diversity in the outfit choices in the middle east 8) no not all arab women wear it because many arab women are NOT muslim ... if anyone has any other genuine & not sarcastic questions about the hijab I'd love to answer them as a proud hijabi woman! :D

Hijabs don't oppress people; people oppress people. Honestly, hijabs are so beautiful and frame womens' faces so gorgeously! ❤

Today... after watching both things against Hijab and with Hijab... i realized one thing... Muslims are good, some are bad It's all on humanity... it depends on who's on who. In some places, clothing like this could indicate that women are objects for men to use. But in some places it's something to cover you up, to make you feel beautiful as a butterfly in a cocoon.... It all depends on which side of the spectrum you view it in, what sort of cultural appropriation your nation uses it, and what part of the world your living in. Its sexist when it's forced. It's ok when it's by free choice of the women with their own fashion style.... It depends on the person. Unless I'm talking about Burka?

"I'm afraid they would be offended if I ask why they wears hijab" I don't think Muslim women would be offended by that question

you know what oppression is? it is when you don't have a choice, whether you DO want to wear it or not. There are many people who are forced to wear it, as not wearing it COULD mean some form of retaliation or mistreatment, but also there are people who are forced to NOT wear it when they want to, due to the same fear of being ousted, retaliation or mistreatment. Terrorists are winning because we have these forms of discussion, because of the fear that they are inculcating on both sides of the coin. Freedom is when you can choose to wear the hijab because of your relationship with God, and not because of fear.

i love when people come together to support one another

Mother of Jesus, Mother Teresa and nuns always wearing hijab..

Hate comments : THE HAIR IS SHOWING me: WHO GIVES A...

I am not Muslim but I do come from a Muslim background and a Muslim family and tbh, they are the best people I know they are so caring and loving and the fact that people judge them because of their religion sickens me. Its like coming up to a person who practices Christianity and shaming them for wearing their cross. People seriously need to show respect for other religions because they are human too and might even be a better person.

Im a muslim and let me tell you. Not all muslim wear hijab...even tho we need to but thats their opinion.. Sometimes you might see muslim dye their hair like my cousin sister... We can dye our hair but it must be the one that the color dissappear when we washed it.. Maybe you see muslim wear nail polish even if its illegal to us but we wear the ones that is peel of.. I just dont understand why is there soo much hate. My hijab dont hurt you.

I’ve lived in the Middle East all my life .. I’ve never Ever Heard of Hijab day 🤔

I am a non-muslim, and am actually of Jewish descent. I did this once back in 2015 when my college had the Hijab for a Day event, and to this day it was one of the most enlightening and positive learning experiences I've ever had. I started out the day on my own, and did notice a few stares, but then later on I met with my husband, and we both took the train back home. When we got home, he said he noticed several people staring at me very hard, and a couple times he said he purposely took my hand because he wondered what someone would do if he did not display that he was with me. He thought my wearing the hijab for a day was really neat, but wondered why it was such a big deal to people. I love that my experience was not just for myself, but my husband learned a lot as well, in the position of a SO who is with someone wearing a hijab. Are there any men out there who were either dating someone or married to someone who wore a hijab in public at any point in time? What did you observe about the people around you? Did you learn anything from the experience?

We have like two girls in our school who wear a hijab and no one gives a sh^t

I'm a muslim woman and I love wearing hijab..... I don't think I can live without it... There are many kind of headscarf you can wear.. Different styles and very fashionable too.... Please stop saying that muslim women are being oppressed because of the hijab.... It's so not true....

Im a muslim and i feel that hijab day is really sweet. I also think that the non muslim girls have such a big heart to participate and actually want to understand muslim girls. This video is inspiring and this is a change for the good and the better.

I'm a Muslim girl I was always scared to wear a hijab since we're I come from their more Christian's then Muslims and I was always scared to wear one because I didn't want to be bullied. But after this video it showed me to embrace myself and not care what people have to say. ♥️🙏🏽🧕🏽

Uh oh a lot of people are going to hold negative views on this video

*takes deep breathe* ITS PRONOUNCED MOO-SLIM NOT MUZ-LIM

Am i the only one who thinks they all look prettier in hijab?? Masha Allah 😍😍♥️♥️

I’m 14 and I’m wearing a hijab in New York and it’s fine but some people look at me in disgust or/and disbelief but I honestly just smile at them Wether they smile back or not because I wanna show people how peaceful Islam is :)

the girl in the brown peach hijab she looks pretty with it and without it she shouldn't worry about the ppl who give her drifts be happy of who u r

idk why but i feel goosebumps when i watched this video. i feel so proud wearing a hijab. hope my country will have this hijab day too!☺

I'm a Muslim i wear hijab occasionally but this inspires me to wear it everyday... now I'm looking for hijab tutorials hehe

There should be a Free From Hijab day as well

Those of you who claim that Islam is a religion of hate but ironically still hate on people just because of their religion and beliefs. Pure stupidness. And you telling a woman not to wear a hijab when she wants to is OPPRESSION not the hijab itself. STOP TELLING WOMAN WHAT TO WEAR!

Why are y'all so pressed. Its a religion you most probably know nothing about, so why waste your time arguing against it. Most of you are using lines from the Quran to 'backup' your point. But you're taking it out of context. In theory, it's like me opening a book and taking a random sentence, so I suddenly have an understanding of the whole book. If you want to make claims about islam, have a full understanding of it thanks

So i have been looking into some comments and some tell us to move to Saudi Arabia because we wear hijabs? Grow up. What are we even doing, were just wearing some sort of scarf and people cant accept that for some reason.

this makes me want to finish converting : )

i don't understand some peoples hate towards the hijab and muslims... the hijab is literally beautiful and islam is such a peaceful religion. Obviously there are some extremists but that happens with every religion. You can't just blame one religion for things and not look at the pasts of other religions. (This is coming from a Christian.)

Legit afraid to comment on this video because it's always such a sensitive topic when it comes to religion and Islam especially. The only thing I'll say is this: awareness and mutual understanding are good things, oppression and discrimination destroy communities. Although I'm a more towards atheïsm leaning agnostic person, I can still see value in this event, even though I'd never want my significant other to cover something up just because a religious book 'prescribes' it. But that's just for my personal situation, and acceptance of others and "live and let live" is something very important to me. :)

Im hispanic Christan and my best friend is Muslim and our other bestie is a black catholic so we wore hijabs and teachers and our students were so damn disrespectful. But that isint stopping us from doing it again! Lots of love for Muslim Ladiesss!!!! my face looks like a boiled egg whenever i put on a hijab tho rip cause i got them chubby cheeks and LONG forehead

I like how this video calls women who wear hijabs Hijabi women instead of Muslims because many women of many different faiths wear hijabs.

my best friend is muslim, i see nothing wrong with your religon !!

Hatred is ignorance and ignorance is a lack of education. Educate yourselves (That's all I have to say for those who can't accept others)

omg they look so pretty with a hijab 💖

I chose to wear hijab even though my mother was hesitant because she didn’t want me to take it off. I love my hijab so much. Tbh even if I wasn’t wearing hijab or anything I just love the idea of being modest.

1:10 no girl it doesnt offensive when you ask us about our hijab.go ahead,ask.its a lovely subject 😊

A few days ago, I saw a girl at my school with a beautiful hijab, I don't wear one, but I really wanted to know where she got it, but I didn't ask because I was scared she might think I was rude or being sarcastic

Yea I will never understand how being modest and choosing to cover up is shocking and horrible but wearing next to nothing is completing fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

I'm totally fine with people wearing the hijab as long as it's their choice to do so!

I came from Indonesia, where a lot of women wear hijab, and I do too, and it doesn't make any different if I don't, but when I go to the US I hated wearing hijab because I feel that people stopped seeing me as a person

if Muslim women are inviting women of all beliefs and cultures to experience what life is like wearing a hijab and gain a better understanding then it is not cultural appropriation. it would be appropriation if they were stealing it for fashion and not thinking about or considering the religious significance at all.

u girls are real warriors!! im rely proud of u for not being intimidated, God bless you ❤️

Everyone is so supportive and nice, Mashallah!

okay why don't we just watch this video and take a moment for all the brave and empowering women who were stabbed by the Islamic extremists during the protests against the mandatory wearing of the veil in Iran in 1979. Those women who fought hard and lost hard will forever be in my heart and they are who I call feminists.

At least the women's who tried to wear hijab on and walk, will understand the feelings of those who's daily clothing is that.

I don’t wear a hijab but I am considering converting to Islam. Covering up makes me feel close to god. Idk man, but since I’m mixed, when people stare at me I smile, and I swear their surprised. “Like omg! A civil black person????”. Tf 😂

So there’s this person in the comments, ‘faimzan21’, who is saying that Islam is a ‘parasite’ (Astagfirullah). I just love how everyone is ignoring him and not saying anything bad about him. 🙃

Saying that muslim women are FORCED to wear hijab is like saying that everyone is FORCED to wear clothes 😂😂

This video made me so happy. Muslim or not, peace to you all ❤

To all my dear brothers and sisters who don't know why we wear hijabs.It's not because is it religious but to protect women and to show their commitment to modesty. hijab and long clothing prevents men to pay attention to a female's body and looks. women are created beautiful and so the hijab protects us from being sexualised and misrepresented.Can get men to focus on people's real characteristics and so many more reasons.

I’m Muslim and this is such a beautiful video I’d like to see something like this where I live.
