Hijab-wearing women self-impose house arrest out of safety fear

Evidence

Several of the Muslim women I interviewed told me they avoided going out in public when not necessary out of fear for their safety. Aziza told me she and her family avoided going to the mosque immediately after September 11th because they were afraid it might be attacked. While the fear eventually subsided, the weeks after 9/11 were a period where Aziza felt she could not leave the house because she wears the hijab. — , Selod, Saher - Forever Suspect_…, 488
