How did Pink Hijab Day Start?

Pink Hijab Day began small, in a high school in Columbia, MO. A group of girls decided to wear pink hijabs one day to encourage others to ask questions about their hijabs and about Islam. After more and more people began participating, the Susan G Komen Foundation was conacted and Pink Hijab Day had its start.

What is the purpose of Pink Hijab Day?

1) To encourage people to ask questions about Hijab, and extinguish stereotypes people may have about hijab

2) To raise awareness and funds for breast cancer foundations across the globe

3) To encourage Muslim women to participate in helping their own communities

Who can participate in Pink Hijab Day? 

Anyone! Anyone can wear a pink item, whether it's a pink Hijab, a pink ribbon, or pink socks. In 2008, a group of students in Canada dyed kufis and wore pink kufis. Even if you don't wear anything pink, you can donate to any local cancer foundation
