It hasn’t been easy for Safaa Bokhari to practice her faith as a Muslim woman in America. The mom, who lives in Oakland, Pennsylvania, said she’s been verbally harassed for wearing a headscarf. That’s why the 30-year-old Muslim mother is teaming up with a community organization in Pittsburgh to launch Hello Hijab, a tiny headscarf that can be used on Barbies and other children’s toys. Bokhari told The Huffington Post that she hopes Hello Hijab will be used by both Muslims and non-Muslims, so that children get used to the sight of women wearing the headscarf. “It won’t be a problem for my daughter, if she wants to wear hijab, it wouldn’t be considered something strange.”
