Cultural workers from the Bangsamoro Commission for the Preservation of Cultural Heritage (BCPCH-BARMM) joined various ministries, offices, and agencies of the Bangsamoro Government in commemorating World Hijab Day at the Shariff Kabunsuan Cultural Complex (SKCC), Bangsamoro Government Center (BGC), Cotabato City.
World Hijab Day, observed annually, serves as an important moment to reflect on the significance of the hijab for Muslim women around the world. The event provides a platform to raise awareness, build understanding, and promote respect for the choice to wear the hijab, while also challenging misconceptions and addressing the discrimination that hijabi women often face.
This yearโs theme, โHijabis Unsilenced,โ brings to the forefront the empowerment of Muslim women, ensuring that their voices are heard, their contributions acknowledged, and their rights recognized. The theme calls for an end to harmful stereotypes, advocating for freedom of choice, dignity, and inclusivity in all spheres of life.
For BCPCH cultural workers, their participation in the event symbolizes a broader mission to preserve Bangsamoro heritage. Through their efforts, the hijab is not only seen as a religious symbol but also as a cultural emblem that embodies the resilience, pride, and identity of the Bangsamoro people.
As cultural advocates, these workers strive to bridge the gap between tradition and modernity, that the hijab remains a visible and valued part of the Bangsamoro way of life. By highlighting the cultural significance of the hijab, they are advocating its recognition not just as a religious requirement but as a profound expression of cultural identity and empowerment.
