Pink Hijab Day: October 28th, 2009
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.Contact these people to get involved with Pink Hijab Day in your area!

I feel like I've seen this post before...?
I don't know if I even own anything pink, actually... well, anything pink that I can wear in public. I have pink panties. I think.
@black_lie@xanga - lol but then will ppl see it?
I had recently participate in an event that is hosted by a radio station in my city, Bras for a Cause, for breast cancer awareness. They collect used or new bras, and for every bra, a dollar is donated to the Breast Cancer Society in our city. Also, a sponsor would match the amount raised by the radio station and donate that too. It's a great way to raise money and to get rid of old bras. =D
Thanks for supporting breast cancer awareness
