Calls on women to protest and take off their hijabs are stirring up a broader debate surrounding the hijab in Egypt. Some women support the idea that women in Egypt should take off their hijabs while others outright refuse it. One woman said that she took off her hijab because of the importance of her appearance at a new job she took. Some fear that the debate may recreate divisions in Egyptian society.
