My hijab is my choice. No one has a right to say what I can or cannot wear.  Our Constitution upholds and protects my right to practice my religion and not be discriminated against.

Over the last few days and weeks, several young Muslim women have been denied entry into classrooms. They have been denied education based on their choice to wear a hijab. After Udupi, more Karnataka colleges closed doors to students wearing hijab.

Disallowing students to enter classrooms based on clothing which is an essential practice of their religion is against the law of the land, the Constitution.

I started this petition to make my voice heard. Sign my petition asking the Government of Karnataka to secure the Right to Freedom of Religion of all, including Muslim girls like me.

Your collective solidarity can help create impact. Let’s ensure that young Muslim girls are not denied education! #MyHijabMyChoice
