The Jilbab has slowly become a symbol of strong assertion of an Islamic identity for women in the Muslim community worldwide. So much has been discussed and debated about this dress from it being a symbol of oppression subjugating them to will of a male dominated world view right down to restricting participation of women in society. It is symbol of modesty, Islamic status and a defensive measure against unwarranted sexual advances by promoting self respect, dignity and honour for women.
