World Have Your Say

Available for over a year

Would you wear a headscarf today - World Hijab Day? Non-Muslim women around the world are being encouraged to try out life wearing the traditional head scarf. For some people in the west, the hijab is a symbol of oppression and divisiveness. We're talking about the image of the hijab - does it protect or oppress? Also in the programme: This week, WHYS had the chance to ask Hillary Clinton questions during her global town hall debate.
