Happy #WorldHijabDay! I'm thankful for the times and freedom I chose to wear it and I'm thankful for freedom I had to take it off.
& today I wish the same for all of us: a woman's right to chose to wear or not to wear the hijab. Like my mother, who always wears hers proudly.

Muslim women are often infantilised by both sides, particularly those who wear the hijab. In some countries, they are forced to wear it. In some, they are forced to go without. The issue remains the same, patriarchal control over women's bodies, entitlement to our choices.
But it is choice we should be fighting for and it is choice I will always fight for. To wear it in the midst of Islamophobic violence and attacks is as brave as if is to take it off in the midst of a patriarchal and controlling governments and societies. Both are beautiful.
