Entry Description

These series of pictures depict how society forces middle eastern women to wear veils and cover their body (Hijab) against their personal will and believes. Women are generally expected to conform to social and religious norms both in behavior and looks. Ironically however, the boundary between nudity and Hijab is only a thin layer of cloth that can be easy removed. Here the movement against Hijab is pictured. Such stereotype can be confronted by a revolutionary woman who can act and independently and present herself with freedom. New generations should become confident that with their help, woman would be what she was born to be.... FREE AND INDEPENDENT!
