Why have Somali girls stopped wearing the hijab?

[Mr.Humphrey]

Let Somali women do what they want with their bodies.

it's so absurd that there are people on this Earth that are upset about hair....

The other day there was a thread said “did somali women normalize wearing the hijab in west?” And now like a day later “why somali girls stop wearing hijab” But as usual this post is going to get to trending faster than the other

It's just a hair. No biggie. If it makes you happy, there are larger number of Somali girls who still wear the hijab.

It seems like just 5 or 6 years ago, it was rare to see Somali girls without the hijab but the past few years, it seems like most young Somali women no longer wear it. Why do you think that is?

I don’t know what planet you’re living on but this is completely false. The vast majority of Somali girls wear the Hijab.

i mean france has better rights for women than somaliland but most of the west isn't like france

Both of them tell women what to wear.

They both oppressors.

This place is too fixated on Somali women and their wardrobe. Naga daaya rabshada.

It’s their choice simple

Even the hijabis get harassed with " wear it properly or take it off" So now when they took it off, it became Haram? Bunch of hypocrites in our community. Day of judgement will get interesting

No one’s really stopped wearing the hijab in general.

Its just the ones on socials are brave enough to openly not wear it, where they’ll be caught lacking by Aabo iyo Hooyo.

In London is rare to see a somali without her hijab. 99 percent still wear it here.

Most somali girls are not about that fast paced zina lifestyles compared to other ethnicities. They probably would date you and stuff, maybe snog you. But most of them want to do it halal before sex. It's respectable honestly.

Same case here, I only know myself and another girl who don’t wear any head covering while the rest in our city do

why majority of somali girls where the hijab in every country they reside. From the Midwest to Scandinavia to Australia 99 percent will wear the hijab, I think it has become culture now.

Idk tbh? My mom doesn’t mind it and neither does my father. I think it’s just because most Somali parents, especially the mothers, became strict about it.

They should let their daughters decide if they want to wear it rather than force it on them, they should instead highly encourage them that wearing the hijab is a command from Allah and you not wearing it is sinning. And than after that let them makeup their minds if they want to wear the hijab or not.

Before the late 80s early 90s most somali women didn't wear the hijab, it was almost non existent. Hijab wearing was never widespread in our culture until very recently.
Traditionally Somali women in the past wore a small piece of cloth or nothing

I think they used to dress like the Gabra (in North Kenya) or like the Afar.

Those two groups don't have jilbabs, but still use small headscarves..
