City of Toronto All Events http://ift.tt/1ZUjsdG ANNISAA is an organization dedicated to the empowerment of women, especially those in the Islamic community. World Hijab Day is a day committed to something particular to Muslim women—the hijab. In mainstream media, hijab is portrayed inaccurately, and even when it is shown to be positive, hijab is depicted as vague and one-dimensional. The purpose of our conference is to raise awareness about what hijab means to Muslim women, to share the complex experiences of women who do wear it and compare it to those who don't, to give these women the voice that they are assumed not to have, and, at the general level, empower women to feel like individuals with a choice.
