This is the official poster of #WorldHijabDay’19! The hashtag for WHD’19 is #FreeInHijab. It’s time for you to flood your social media with this hashtag & educate those who label hijab as a symbol of “oppression.” It’s time for all of us to voice our CHOICE of #hijab! pic.twitter.com/EKLhohpcqc

Since 2013, the International Hijab Day is organised. This year’s campaign targets everyone who uses social media.
Through the hashtag #FreeInHijab, the movement will show the world that no woman is oppressed or imprisoned in her veil, but that it is a choice of free will, the founder Nazma Khan explains.
Khan therefore urges all women, regardless of religious affiliation, background and ethnicity, to wear veils for 24 hours on 1 February to show solidarity with all Muslims.
According to the movement’s Facebook page, the day is also about introducing women to wearing a veil.
On Twitter they write that it is now time for “a flood in social media with the hashtag #FreeInHijab”. According to the post, the campaign will “educate” those who label hijab as a symbol of oppression.
