Zainab Theresia Huber (L), a 51-year-old Muslim convert, talks with 21-year-old Sofia Latif, as they wear their Muslim hijabs while at work at a social services agency that services a mostly immigrant clientele in Dearborn, Michigan. Women who cover up for their faith may encounter problems getting some kinds of work outside the Muslim world, particularly jobs requiring them to interact with the public.

    I work at hijab alhamdulilah! I’ve found it easier to get jobs in government or university based jobs than retail when I was a student. Inshallah all hijabis who want to work do not receive satorial discrimination.

    The caption ignores the Muslim countries like Turkey and Tunisia that also discriminate against hijab.
