Delmarva Muslim Community to host World Hijab Day event

SALISBURY, Md. – Hijabis on Delmarva gearing up for world hijab day, with a special event on the agenda.

On February 1st, the Delmarva Muslim Community is hosting a Crowning Culture Hijab Experience event. Folks of any background can try on a hijab and learn about the significance of the garb to the Islamic faith.

Event coordinator, Brigitte Malik encourages every woman who is curious about hijab culture to attend this free community event.

“Even if you’re Christian, you can wear the hijab. If you have a Muslim woman who you love, come and support us; wear a hijab,” Malik said. “We want to educate and spread awareness of why our hijab is worn, so we can fight discrimination with education and tolerance.”

The event will take place from 1-4 pm. It is a women’s only event.
