The traditional Islamic headscarf worn by Muslim women, symbolizing modesty and religious devotion.
In 2026, Indonesia banned schools from forcing students to wear the hijab after a case of a Christian student being pressured to wear the headscarf sparked international outrage. Human Rights Watch documented "widespread bullying of girls and women to pressure them to wear the jilbab, as well as the deep psychological distress such bullying causes". The United Nations Committee on the Rights of the Child also expressed concern that approximately 150,000 schools still enforced mandatory hijab rules, with students who refused facing pressure, humiliation, or forced departure from school.
