What's Your Story?

This blog is all about your struggles against hijab. The sad ones, the happy ones, and the ones where you felt you could no longer go on wearing a message that does not represent you.

If you are wearing hijab against your choice, it is your obligation to tell the world your story. It is your obligation as well to make other people who are faced with the same hardships feel that they are NOT alone.

Count me in. Will send you some articles as soon as I find them. I do believe that women should have a choice in their hijab, and while admiring those who cover, I dont believe any woman should be forced into doing ANYTHING they dont want to.Please do accept articles in Dutch/Nederlands, and in French, as I will be willing and able to translate.

The Hijab debate is raging hot one, and many women across the world are fighting for their right to wear it, while others are fighting against the imposition of garb against their will. I dont really think its the actual cloth that most woment have a problem with, its more the fact that we are treated as sub humans who have no ability to make the correct choices according to our beliefs.

The common ground between those who fight for their right to wear it, and those who protest against being forced into it, is that both parties have no choice in the matter.

The solution is clear. The freedom to choose should be open to all woman, to wear or not to wear...:)

I have so much more to say on the topic but I will be filling this up with my opinion, so I will stop right here...:)
