Other than that, the objective of World Hijab Day is to allay some of the myths and controversies among the Muslim women that choose to wear the hijab. She especially felt the call to bring the message having experienced “being the odd one out” since her school days after her family moved from Bangladesh to the United States, when she was 11-years-old.
