A Muslim woman’s decision to wear a hijab as a source of ‘freedom’ confuses people because inherently something that is tied around your head is anything but physically freeing. What people don’t understand is that the ‘freedom’ Muslim women speak about isn’t about the hijab itself. It’s about an inherent right of self expression. Just like everyone has a right to wear colors they like and styles they like. To get tattoos or not. It’s the ability of a Muslim woman to express herself by being who she wants to be.
