From the field: sisters who wore hijab for the first time

Over the past two weeks, the Al-Dahabi team documented several testimonies from sisters who chose hijab after the distribution events. In Aleppo (24 August 2026), sisters spoke of their joy at receiving the hijab, and of how a woman can invite others simply by her dress, without pressure or speeches. In Deir Al-Asafir, Rural Damascus (30 August 2026), a sister told the story of her first day with hijab. On 3 September 2026, a sister said after seeing the team's events: it is time for the real step, and she wore the hijab that same day. On 5 September 2026, a sister described her hijab as having become the emblem of her obedience, her modesty and her pride in her faith.
