Headscarf for Harmony with Thaya Ashman: March the 22nd, 2019

Headscarf for Harmony is on today, this is a gentle invitation for the general public to wear a headscarf in support of the Muslim community. While there has been some criticism of it, it has been noted by the organisers as a way to support Muslim women who want to wear a hijab but don’t feel safe to in New Zealand. One of the organisers of the event, Thaya Ashman joins Laura to discuss what inspired this event.
