Challenging gender Islamophobia: the Behind the Scarf movie

We are about to launch our first short-documentary: “BEHIND THE SCARF”. We are very pleased for having the chance to share the story of 6 Muslim girls who explain the meaning of the headscarf. We believe this understanding is important to tackle prejudice towards Muslim women, especially in a society where they have been constantly discriminated.

 

Take a look at the movie’s trailer:
