Millions of women are forced to wear hijab by their govt or their family. That’s not a minority.

The minority are those in the West-the only ones that truly have a choice. And even in the West, girls are killed for refusing to wear it.

So, in conclusion, hijab is a tool of rape culture That fact might be uncomfortable, ppl might be offended, but the fact remains It’s victim blaming: putting the onus on the girl vs the attacker It’s slut-shaming: hijabis are clean vs dirty non-hijabis #HijabIsRapeCulture

Yasmine Mohammed@ConfessionsExMu 4 mars I think it’s important not to wag a finger at individual hijabis as they are coerced into this system from a young age. We can address the problem w the structure while recognizing that the ppl stuck in it, and even perpetuating it, are just following along like a school of fish. I knew the onus was on me to cover to ‘protect’ myself. Thats what made the assaults I endured even more shameful-I felt it was my fault. Being stuck in that system is bad enough without ppl blaming you for being a part of it. Please criticize the system, not the individual women

samar1990@samar19906 4 mars En réponse à @ConfessionsExMu I am an Iranian girl,from the age of 7 to 25, I had to wear hijab at school and university,while I hated hijab,but I had to wear the veil.Without hijab I was not allowed to enter the school and university. I lived hard in the Islamic dictatorship for 18 years. #HijabIsRapeCulture 🛡️@_Follow_Truth 6 mars Arabs brought their religion & backward customs to Iran & imposed them on the progressive Iranians (Zoroastrians). Few escaped & came to India. They are known as "Parsi". They are one of the most successful communities in India. Hope Iran is able to become Islam-free again. Yasmine Mohammed@ConfessionsExMu 6 mars Please be careful to differentiate Arab from Muslim, theyre not synonymous. There are 22 Arab countries. Many Arabs are not Muslim, many Muslims are not Arab. Point the blame where it’s due-to Islam, not to Arabs. Arabian cultures also thrived before Islam. Theyre the 1st victims samar1990@samar19906 6 mars Yes, right, the first victims of Islam were Arabs. I have never traveled to any Arab country, but I have friends who are Arab and do not accept the religion of Islam at all. And they are like my sisters. Freedom is the right of all of us.🌷🙏 Seema Chavan 🇮🇳@Seema23881 7 mars Just out of curiosity the Arabs who do not follow Islam , follow which religion ?Actually it is stupid to ask such question, as what matters is humanity.. We all are humans should be our first and last identity.

Leaving Islam is the bravest thing a person can do. Taking off the hijab is the bravest thing a Muslim woman can do. #NotSorry #HijabIsRapeCulture #WomensHistoryMonth
