We are, at almost every point of our day, immersed in cultural diversity: faces, clothes, smells, attitudes, values, traditions, behaviours, beliefs, rituals.

To the Muslim woman, the hijab provides a sense of empowerment. It is a personal decision to dress modestly according to the command of a genderless Creator; to assert pride in self, and embrace one's faith openly, with independence and courageous conviction.

A woman's body is her body and what she wears or does not wear is her choice. Get over it and move on.

In a multicultural, diverse society there are countless ways in which people negotiate the everyday lived experience and reality of diversity.
