A group of mums are making dolls wearing hijabs so young children feel represented.

For today’s dose of people doing kick arse things, a US not-for-profit, For Good, is making six dollar hijabs for dolls so children have access to toys that represent Muslim women.

Hello Hijab! ????????

Created in Pittsborough by three mothers, Safaa Bokhari, Gisele Fetterman, and Kristen Michaels, Hello Hijba is a line of stylish, hand made headscarves with the mission of ensuring Muslim kids are and feel represented in mainstream society.

After noticing the lack of diversity and inclusiveness in the dolls her daughter, Grace was playing with, Fetterman came up with the idea behind Hello Hajib to make sure Grace had access to dolls “that look like the mothers and grandmothers of so many of her Muslim friends,” she wrote on her website.

Focused on projects that empower marginalised groups, For Good will donate all profits from Hello Hajib sales to local charities serving and empowering multicultural communities.
