Mizel, Omar
Issues in Educational Research, v33 n1 p155-172 2023
Muslim women around the world perceive the wearing of a hijab as a means for the protection of Islamic values and the value of modesty. The present study explores the behavioural phenomenon of the wearing of the hijab by female Palestinian Muslim college students attending Palestinian universities and seeks to respond to the following research question: "How do these female students justify their choice to wear the hijab?"
