In its 10th year\, World Hijab Day Organization has continued dismantling bias\, prejudice\, and discrimination against Muslim women through awareness\, education\, and empowerment. Taking part in this event and every bit of support means more victories for our sisters who are unfairly targeted and harassed for their choice of wearing hijab globally. World Hijab Day is a global campaign to promote religious tolerance\, cultural understanding\, and international solidarity. \n\n\n\nThe goal of this second-annual event is to provide sisters – both Hijabi and non-Hijabi – with an opportunity to: \n\n\n\n\nCelebrate the Hijab and promote pride in carrying on this noble tradition and campaign for a world where Muslimahs can proudly and freely practice her faith;\n\n\n\nCreate an environment where sisters feel empowered\, supported\, and inspired to wear hijab (particularly youth girls finding sorority and support)\n\n\n\nHost a bazaar where attendees can purchase modest clothing that supports Muslimah-run Islamic businesses and lunch from female-run food vendors.\n\n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAbout the Speaker: \n\n\n\nSanaa Subhani holds a Master’s in Social Work and a bachelor’s in Human Development. She is the Founder and Executive Director at Wasilah Connections. She has served in the mental health field since 2007\, holding multiple roles\, from Residential Counselor for emotionally disturbed girls\, Activity Coordinator for Developmentally Disabled Adults\, Recovery Counselor for a Substance Abuse recovery home\, ABA Therapist\, and Medical Social Worker\, to current a Clinical Case Manager and a Crisis Specialist. \n\n\n\nHer internships include working with the low-income\, homeless population in single resident occupancy (SRO) homes and as a Clinical Therapist for a school with a behavioral and emotionally challenged population. Her volunteer work consists of being a minority affairs officer on her Community College Student body of government and as a Northern California Events Coordinator for MSA WEST. \n\n\n\nSanaa continues to work with the community on an ongoing basis helping all those in need. She has initiated support groups and is consistently networking with like-minded individuals to create resources and programs that cater to the community’s needs. \n\n\n\nWHERE IT ALL BEGANNazma Khan immigrated to New York City from Bangladesh at a young age. Not knowing the culture or the language\, Nazma was the only one wearing the hijab (headscarf) in middle school\, where she was constantly bullied. This constant discrimination followed her throughout high school and college. After 9/11\, her situation got even worse. Now\, she was being chased down the street and labeled a ‘terrorist’ for being visibly Muslim. She realized that many women in hijab in different parts of the world were encountering similar discrimination. She wanted to do something to address the stereotypes and improve circumstances. Therefore\, she invited women from all ethnic backgrounds to wear the hijab for a day to foster religious tolerance and cultural understanding. She called this global event ‘World Hijab Day.’ This event is commemorated in over 150 countries every February 1st. https://websitewww.worldhijabday.org \n\n\n\nThis event is commemorated in over 150 countries every February.
