Voice #06: #HandsOffMyHijab - Long Sleeve

The #HandsOffMyHijab movement portrays a figure imagined to possess the power to generate force fields, not as fantasy but as a metaphor. The force field represents protection: the right to exist, move, and believe without interference.

The illustration responds to laws and proposals in France that have increasingly regulated how Muslim women appear in public spaces, from bans on headscarves in schools to restrictions on face coverings and hijab. The surrounding hands signal pressure, authority, and scrutiny.

This piece centres on defence, the right to exist, believe, and move without interference.

Inspired by the viral social media campaign started by Rawdah Mohamed in 2021, using the hashtag #HandsOffMyHijab
