Hijab Advocacy Group To See Light In London
CAIRO, June 13 (IslamOnline.net) – A new group, comprising a network of British and international organizations, will be officially launched Monday, June14 , in London, to defend the right of Muslim women in Europe and world-wide to wear hijab.

The Assembly for the Protection of Hijab (Pro-Hijab) will come to light during a press conference at the House of Commons’ Jubilee Room.

"The aim of Pro-Hijab is to campaign peacefully using all available legal means to protect the right of every Muslim woman to exercise her religious duties unimpeded," the group coordinator Abeer Pharaon said in a press release, a copy of which was e-mailed to IslamOnline.net.

She added that the advocacy group will also seek to "increase awareness and tolerance between people of all faiths and no faith."
