HIJAB as a part of UNIFORM
London Metropolitan Police accepted hijab as a part of Police uniform, optional for Muslim women who are serving in the police force.The announcement was made in a conference in London, whose theme is “Protect and Respect: Everybody’s Benefit”.This move is the sign of accepting Britain as a religiously diverse society where different faith related accommodations are consider for individuals.
Constable Maha Sukkar is the first Victoria Police officer to wear a traditional Muslim hijab as part of her uniform. The navy, lightweight hijab, specifically designed for Constable Sukkar, has Velcro to enable its release should she get caught in a physical scuffle
Along with this IKEA also launches his own-brand hijab - a Muslim head scarf- for its Muslim staff.
