Covered by Choice, Covered in Light
Description
Due to some very horrid experiences of two of our Sisters, we are planning the first annual Covered in Light International Day for raising awareness about women being discriminated against while veiled and supporting her right to veil if she chooses.
On this day, we are asking women to wear a covering of their choice to stand in solidarity and if they feel so inclined, to organize a parade/march in their local area to spread the word.
A Facebook page with all of the detailswill be coming soon is here. The Date is Friday Sept 21, 2012.
As part of the promotion, we are asking women to recreate in a photograph a famous painting of a covered woman to be shared on the events Facebook page to show the timeless beauty of veiled women.
Please start spreading the word!

I remember years ago, a gal who was Kosher Jew worked here. After she got married she was required to cover her hair....now they also consider a wig as a head covering, but there were days when Sarah wore hats, or headscarves, and they suggested she wear something else...I think she ended up wearing a snood-type head covering which they found acceptable, but not the scarf O_o.
