Twenty-two-year-old Hanna Yusuf wants to set the record straight: "My hijab has nothing to do with oppression. It's a feminist statement." In a recent video for The Guardian, Hanna explains that even though it's just a scarf that some women wear to cover parts of their bodies, it still manages to cause a lot of uproar.

A lot of people might think that Muslim women are forced to wear it against their own will, but she says that's not the case for most. "My concern with the hijab being unfairly portrayed as a symbol of oppression is in no way a denial of the fact that some women are forced to wear it in some parts of the world, sometimes through appalling violence," she said. But for those who choose to wear it, she says that's where the real liberation comes from.

"By assuming that all veiled women are oppressed, we belittle the choice of those that want to wear it," she said. "Even when women are vocal about wanting to wear the hijab, they are conveniently unheard or silenced. The truth is that for many women, the hijab allows them to reclaim their bodies and have full control over them, and that makes a lot of people uncomfortable."

Hanna explained it well: "By covering up, we reject the notion that women must be sexy but not slutty, stick thin but still curvy, youthful but all natural. It's a market that pressures women to try to attain the unattainable." And those who wear the hijab don't have to deal with that pressure.
