The prime minister is expected to be accompanied in the Christchurch prayers with community leaders and other foreign dignitaries. The #headscarfforharmony movement, launched by an Auckland doctor, encouraged people to wear headscarves on Friday to show their support for the Muslim community. Robyn Molony, 65, was with a group of friend wearing headscarves at Hagley Park, where they walked daily. “We are wearing headscarves showing our support, love and solidarity, and hope that by everybody doing this it will demonstrate to Muslim women ... that they are one with us," she said. Some women in the capital Wellington were also seen wearing headscarves on their morning commute.
