Tue 09 Sep 2008Group to lobby for right to wear hijab
A NEWLY formed Muslim group has been set up to help ensure the continued rights of Muslim women to wear the hijab in Ireland.
The Irish Hijab Campaign will lobby for legislation to protect and support those wearing the hijab. It hopes to educate the general public on its significance and for its normalisation in Irish society, as well as advocating its incorporation into work, leisure, etc (ie as a uniform).
