Pink Hijab Day
This year, Pink Hijab Day will be taking place on Wednesday October 28th. According to the website, "Pink Hijab Day is intended to shatter stereotypes of Muslim women, as well as raise awareness and funds for breast cancer research. All over the world, Muslims participated by wearing pink hijabs, pink ribbons, and donating to breast cancer foundations."
In the United States, donations are being collected.
Muslim women, as well as women of other faiths across America and abroad will be observing "Global Pink Hijab Day" by donning pink headscarves. This is a day intended to initiate dialog, promote education about the Islamic headscarf (Hijab), and raise breast cancer awareness.
The Pink Hijab day has also spread to areas all over the world, including South Africa, Egypt, and Qatar.
Who can participate in Pink Hijab Day?
Anyone! Anyone can wear a pink item, whether it's a pink Hijab, a pink ribbon, or pink socks. In 2008, a group of students in Canada dyed kufis and wore pink kufis.How do you feel about this? Will you participate?

This is a great idea. I hope you get a ton of participation.
I wonder when an ish site is going to support my save the boobs campaign.
Absolutely will participate, I have my ribbon and wrist band ready and my family already have their pink hijabs!
This is excellent! I think the idea if perfect. I won't be wearing a pink hijab because I'm a guy and a non Muslim (LOL) but I will put the pink ribbon on my tshirt and cap!
Thanks for spreading awareness on Breast Cancer and for the participation. I am planning to join my sisters, relatives and friends in some cancer support gatherings. I will wear a shocking pink tshirt (very, very bright ) and we will all sing and dance along with other pink-ed people.
When it comes to promote a worthy cause such breast cancer awareness,
people should put aside their misgivings and prejudices against other
races, beliefs and religions and unite.
