Aside from religion, are there any other reasons why women wear hijab?
Besides religious purposes, women in Arab countries wear hijab for modesty and cultural reasons. Some say that wearing such covering will help them be viewed as individuals instead of sex objects. Their intelligence, skills, and personal qualities will shine. A number of Muslim women also say that hijab helps them to be seen as equal to man. It does protect them from widely prevalent evils that victimize vulnerable women.
