This week, I learned about a doll’s hijab contest that had taken place sometimes last year in the Holy city of Mashhad, a north eastern Iranian city known for being one of the main Shia cites where the 8th Imam, Reza is buried. As seen in the pictures here, grade school girls were asked to chose a hijab for their dolls and compete against one another for the best one. According to the news release some mothers joined their daughters too and before the awards were presented, the director of the competition talked about the psychological affects of such activities for young girls in accepting and respecting the hijab for later in life.
