يُظهر الإعلام العالمي اهتمامه بقضايا المسلمين في بعض الأحيان، ومنها الحجاب والمحجبات. ولتقرير لموقع "هافينغتون بوست"، عن المحجبات، شاركت فتيات حول العالم برأيهنّ حول سبب ارتدائهن للحجاب، وما يعنيه لهنّ، إلى جانب السبب الديني.

فعلى وسم "#HijabToMe"، شاركت الفتيات بصورهنّ بالحجاب على موقع "تويتر" ومنصة "إنستاغرام"، بشرح اختلف بين كلّ مشاركة.

وقالت شيرين أحمد "أشجّع الخيارات". وكتبت سارة الشريف على "إنستاغرام": "الحجاب بالنسبة إليّ يعكس شخصيّتي وليس ديني. أحب الأقواس لذا دمجتها في حجابي. الحجاب ليس بأي شكل من الأشكال دليل ظلم أو طغيان، أو جهل. أنا مهندسة وأدرّس، ولم أشعر أبداً أن حجابي يقف في طريق طموحي في أي مرة".


وكتبت "ريزي موسى": "الحجاب هو دليل هويّتي. أقول من خلاله إني مسلمة وأفتخر بأعلى الأصوات". وقالت كيندل نورا "الحجاب هو دليل حسي على وعد قطعته مع خالقي. فأنا غيّرت معتقدي الديني إلى الإسلام، لذا فإنّ الحجاب لم يحصل بين ليلة وضحاها بالنسبة إليّ، لا بل عن قناعة كبيرة بما أفعل. سأدخل هذا العام بشهر رمضان الرابع لي وأنا محجبة. هو ليس سهلاً أن تكوني محجبة.. لم أشعر بالفخر كما أشعر اليوم، وهذا أمر لا أغيره أبداً".

وقالت مستخدمة أخرى: "حجابي لأنه يقول من أنا من دون أن أتكلم حتى". 


Hijab to me is about being comfortable in my own skin and having the confidence to tell people why I choose to dress the way I do. I wore my hijab turban style to work for the first time this week. The kinds of questions it brought on were so eye-opening. People saw something different. My coworkers genuinely wanted to know more about the hijab and why I choose to wear it, when I could and couldn't wear it, and why people wear it differently. It was so refreshing to have respectful conversations with them especially with how Islam has been grossly distorted by the media. I can only hope my love of fashion and love of my faith and choice to wear hijab paves the way for more positive dialogue in the future. #HijabToMe #FiveFeetChic

I am so tired of the monolithic representation of Muslim womyn; these exhausted tropes do nothing to enrich our communities. I often find myself apologizing for not behaving as I am expected to in the spaces I occupy and that is no longer ok. It's so exciting to see @huffingtonpost begin the #hijabtome campaign with the purpose of "illustrating the diversity and vibrancy of Muslim women who wear [the hijab]." ... #Hijabtome means that I have the choice and the freedom to express myself fully, whether I'm dancing it out to Beyonce or being a life long learner and advocate for the populations I seek to serve through medicine. I started wearing hijab as a a sophomore in college primarily because I'm a wear-my-heart-on-my-sleeve kind of person. I have always wanted and still want people to visibly see what I'm all about and for me, hijab was one of the ways to accomplish that. It's definitely not easy to wear it daily; regardless of the setting I'm in, there will always be numerous judgements I need to contend with. Hijab is one way to "twirl on them haters." (Beyonce reference for you all haha) Each womyn who wears the hijab has her own style. I don't have a particular style but it is important for me to wear my hijab in a way that makes me feel comfortable and able to express myself while getting work done.

I am posting to support @huffingtonpost 's #HijabtoMe on their great initiative to introduce diversity in hijab. Hijab to me reflects personal identity, and not where you stand in your religion. I am lover of bows and what they resemble so I infused it into my hijab and now my hijab style is reflecting one part of who I am. Hijab is never a sign of opression, ignorance or falling in the shadows of society. I am an engineer with a master's degree, a teacher at a university, a certified Yoga instructor, an occasional model and a Salsa dancer! Not one time, have I felt that my hijab is holding me back from something I would like to pursue. Freedom is all in the heart and mind and not in the body. We are not tied down by hijab, but by people's conception of how a hijabi should look and act like. I have travelled to most parts of the world and I have always been amazed by how beauty can be so diverse taking every shape and form. And muslim girls are no different. Every hijabi has a message to tell the world that she sends through the way she wears it. So let every girl write her message with her own unique brush!

#HijabToMe is a physical manifestation of a promise I made with my Creator. Wearing hijab didn't happen overnight for me. Being a convert to Islam, it took me years to understand the depths of the hijab, a choice that reaches far past just wearing a scarf. Hijab is as much about the way that you carry yourself, the words you speak, and the way you treat others as it is about the modesty of our dress. The hijab is just a piece of cloth until we as Muslim women give it life through our intentions. After 3 years I prepare to enter my 4th Ramadan as a committed hijabi and I have never felt more confident, never held my head as high as I do now. It's not always easy being a hijabi, and a heavily tattooed one at that, but I wouldn't change it for the world. 🕋🕌 @huffingtonpost @huffpostrelig #3monthanniversary
