In 2021, under the presidency of Emmanuel Macron, France had the audacity to ban Muslim women and girls under the age of 18 from wearing the hijab in public. What was the response from the liberal progressive world? Shameful silence.

So as Muslim women, how should we react to this attack on our Islamic dress code? Why do non-Muslims politicians and governments hate our hijab? How can Muslims individually and collectively support the challenges sisters are facing?

These are the questions discussed in this book, and it puts liberal hypocrisy on trial. It is hoped that Muslimahs make sense of the challenging situation and take back control of the narrative.
