A hijab (حجاب) is a headscarf worn by many Muslim women. In 2004, France banned the wearing of the hijab by girls in state schools. In some Muslim counries, such as Iran, it is the state law that all women, even foreigners, must wear the hijab. Some view the hijab as a symbol of Islamic repression against women.
