The term Pakistani hijab refers to a variety of traditional headscarves worn by many Muslim women. Also called a veil, headscarf, or covering, it is endeavor to promote modesty and avoid calling attention to a woman’s body. There is no specific Pakistani hijab; instead, different styles are available not only throughout Pakistan but also in many areas around the world.
Many different fabrics can be used to make a Pakistani hijab, depending on local customs, occasion, weather, and personal preference. Personal preference usually decides color and style of hijab that varies from person to person. Most Muslim women avoid bright colors and patterns as bright colors are source of attraction to men. Blue or black color hijaab are the most common one seen in Pakistani society.

Female members of Pakistan's Jamaat-e-Islamic Islamic party have demanded that the hijab be made imperative. The nation was urged to observe international hijab day on sept 4 by the leader of Jamaat-e Islam. It is normally considered that the type of dress determines the amount of respect a woman should be given. So in order to make Pakistani women more respectable in men’s eye Jamaat-e-Islamic (JI) has demanded that the hijab be made compulsory in the constitution of Pakistan
In Pakistan, hijab is worn for the following basic reasons:
• Insecurity at the hands of men
• Identity crises
• To increase modesty
• Compulsion from male members ( husbands, fathers or brothers etc)
What I think is the Hijab should be pride and egotism of any women and not a mark of compulsion. As compulsions makes path to many unspecific things.
In our Pakistani society, elders tells that if a girls is not in hijab than they attract and compel male to have sexual relation with them, but the sad part is that they do not tell their young boys or men to respect women and avoid illegal actions against them. In Pakistan It is usually the preying eye of men rather than religion that has forced women to wear the Hijab. But wearing a piece of cloth shall neither change the men’s attitude nor protect women.
It is really a bitter and dejected truth that As far as Hijab is concerned, you see, even prostitutes in Pakistan observe it. But this thing should be kept in mind that its practice what makes one different, not what one wears. There are many other ladies who wear hijab and have flaw-less character. So we can bring down curtain by saying that purpose of wearing hijab should be clear and reputable in mind. Be a hijabi lady and not a hijabi hooker.
