09 Jan World Hijab Day 1st February
Info from Ellie Lloyd:
“I am the Ambassador for Qatar for World Hijab Day 2018. I have created a FB event for Qatar with details and events and will be updating it regularly.
WHD is to encourage all women to try the hijab for one day, February 1st. It is a non profit organisation and is not about converting people’s religions it is about showing solidarity to Muslim women and to help fight the bigotory , discrimination and prejudice that they face, to stand together against religious intolerance and hate. Please like and share my page so we can make this a big event this year in Qatar for women of all religions, nationalities and walks of life.

For more information on WHD please visit www.worldhijabday.com
The website gives plenty of information regarding the organisation and it’s ethos. I posted the link to the FB page so that people can see the events, stories etc relating to WHD directly rather than separately posting on your page with information. I intend to run talks in schools, mall exhibits and a ladies lunch as part of the campaign here in Qatar.”
