Abstract

Choosing a dressing pattern is an individual decision shaped by multiple factors associated with one’s identity and sense of belonging. Based on their lived experiences, this study documents the perspective of women return migrants on the hijab in European context. In-depth interviews were conducted with the women presently living in the country of origin i.e. Pakistan. The women wearing the hijab faced multiple restrictions in their everyday life affairs. In a few countries, there were formal rules restricting the covering of head and face in the public sphere. The women experienced discrimination in employment opportunities because of the hijab as a dominant feature of their Muslim identity. Non-acceptance of the hijab is towards increase among the natives in European countries, who perceive that wearing the hijab in public spaces is leading their society towards conservative outlook. The study concludes that the hijab is one of the predominant factors that shape the decision of Muslim women residing in the Europe to return back to their country of origin.
欧洲国家关于头巾的争论:巴基斯坦女性返回移民的视角
选择一种穿衣方式是一种个人决定,受到与个人身份和归属感相关的多种因素的影响。根据她们的生活经历,本研究记录了欧洲背景下回乡移民妇女对头巾的看法。对目前居住在原籍国即巴基斯坦的妇女进行了深入访谈。戴头巾的妇女在日常生活中面临多重限制。在一些国家,有正式的规定限制在公共场合遮盖头部和面部。妇女在就业机会方面受到歧视,因为头巾是她们穆斯林身份的主要特征。在欧洲国家,越来越多的当地人不接受头巾,他们认为在公共场所戴头巾会使他们的社会走向保守。该研究的结论是,头巾是影响居住在欧洲的穆斯林妇女决定返回原籍国的主要因素之一。
