3. The people of this village
embraced certain
traditions and ideologies
4. They were raised to think
a female should start
wearing the hijab at an
early age.
5. The reason was not
religion itself, it was
mostly an innate
tradition.
6. I had to make my own
choices and do what I
believe in. Because if I
don’t fight for what I
believe in then what am I
living for?
7. I do not mind traditions
but I do mind it when it
takes away my right to
have my own opinion and
not wear it if I choose to.
8. To wear the hijab you
have to abide by its rules
and manners. It is more
than just a cover up.
9. Many people nowadays
wear the hijab to satisfy
society but their actions
don’t match their
appearance and don’t
reflect what hijab and
religion represents.
10. I will always try to
balance between
traditions, society, my
religion, and my own
beliefs. I will keep
fighting for this. No
matter what hardships I
faced. I will always
always stand for this.
