Dear all!
I have some great news to share! We have reached 130,000 signatures and the Turkish Basketball Federation has allowed hijab in their league! My dear friend Merve Sapci has received her players license as the first Turkish player to play with hijab!
However, FIBA still has yet to make a decision. We must urge FIBA to make a decision promptly so other countries can follow the lead of Turkey.
So, I ask you all to send this personal message to FIBA:

Dear Central Board at FIBA,
Turkey is a country with one of the largest muslim populations who just allowed the hijab in competition. FIBA, It's your turn to make a final decision and to approve the hijab in all levels of competition, nationally and internationally.
We are waiting for you to take a step in the right direction.
Sincerely,
Supporter of #fibaALLOWhijab

Once again, thank you for being the change you wish to see in this world!
Peace,
Indira
