What is World Hijab Day?

World Hijab Day was founded by Nazma Khan in 2013 to foster religious tolerance and understanding. Women of all faiths and backgrounds are invited to wear the hijab for a day to experience life in a headscarf.

How to celebrate

Mark the day with a poster made in Dayfeed — pick your favourite photo as the background, share it to your story or group chat, and set a reminder so you never miss it next year.
