New Zealand women wanting to wear a headscarf on Friday have been told not to worry about doing it wrongly. Headscarf for Harmony is an event organised by a group of women wanting to show solidarity with the Muslim community after last Friday's mosque shootings in Christchurch. AMANDA SAXTON Asya Abeid says New Zealanders wanting to wear a headscarf, or hijab can show respect for Muslims.
