We recognise the immense impact of your tireless efforts to promote tolerance, peaceful coexistence, and respect for freedom of religious expression. You are the beacons of hope, shining brightly in the face of adversity.
Your hijab is a symbol of faith, identity, and empowerment. It represents the beautiful diversity that enriches our society.
We celebrate your right to wear the hijab with dignity and pride.
