Hijab (from Inclusion 101™)

Challenging Workplace Stereotypes: Diversity in Attire & Values

The headscarf often worn by observant Muslim women is called a hijab. In some Muslim countries, it's legally required, but for many, wearing it is a personal expression of faith. Much like a yarmulke for Jewish men or a crucifix for Christians, the hijab is a visible symbol of religious identity. As long as it doesn’t create a safety risk, wearing a hijab at work is entirely appropriate. Referring to it disrespectfully (e.g. such as calling it a towel) is offensive, derogatory, and may be considered discriminatory.
