Quran 33:59
>“ O Prophet, tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers to bring down over themselves [part] of their outer garments. That is more suitable that they will be known and not be abused. And ever is Allah Forgiving and Merciful.”
The ‘hijab’ should be to protect Muslim women but according to studies over 25% of women wearing hijabs on trains in America have been abused and there are countless stories of how women wearing hijab have been catcalled or sexually abused. My question is the hijab is supposed to protect women from any form of abuse but it doesn’t seem to so what is the difference between not wearing the hijab and wearing it if the hijab isn’t protecting women from abuse and that not wearing the hijab may actually reduce chances of getting abused like so and makes the environment more safe for a women?
