VIDEO: '˜See the abuse for yourself' - Muslim mum sets hijab challenge after supermarket attack
A Muslim mum is challenging women across the UK to try on the traditional '˜hijab' headscarf - so they can see what it is like to be excluded from society or even abused.
Nilufa Dahlia, 28, set the appeal after she was attacked in her local supermarket in Brighton but wants to spread her message across the country.
The mum of-two was shouted at by a shopper who told her ‘you make my skin twitch’ after seeing her wearing the cloth headdress.
