- The idea of women wearing clothing that covers the entire body and/or face may seem completely foreign to many Westerners. Some countries, like France, have even banned burkas, making it illegal for anyone to cover their face in public places. However, in countries like Indonesia where the majority of the population is Muslim, wearing some form of headscarf is not uncommon. But have you ever wondered how the women who wear hijabs, niqabs, or burkas, feel about wearing these types of clothes? Do they find wearing these clothes as stifling or oppressive as how the outside world view them to be? Our Asian Boss reporter Ramzy hit the streets of Bogor to find out.
The opinions expressed in this video are those of individual interviewees alone and do not reflect the views of ASIAN BOSS or the general Indonesian population.
Special thanks to our Asian Boss team in Indonesia.

"Stop discriminating people who wear hijabs." Also stop discriminating people who choose to take off their hijabs.
If their religion tells them to do it, then of course they're going to love wearing it.
It doesn't bother me when someone elects to wear a hijab. That's their choice, it makes them happy, and it's not hurting anyone. I just don't understand how hair could possibly make a man all hot and bothered.
I love the smell of
damn im not even muslim but that girl that said "hell is hotter" when someone asked her if shes hot i felt that on a religious level 😂
As an Indonesian muslim, my parents never forced me to wear hijab. I'm the one who want to wear it and i feel comfortable wearing hijab.
If it's the men that have lust and can't control themselves around women; isn't it more reasonable for them to take action rather than the women doing it?
Hmmmm, actually an interesting topic to increase the awareness, but as an Indonesian myself who wear hijab on daily basis kinda feel off from each explanation that those women gave in the interview, even though wearing hijab is indeed "mandatory" as it has already written in Quran, but Islam does not oppress us on wearing hijab, it 100% based on our willingness to apply it, furthermore wearing hijab is not only about wearing something that covering up your head, it is also related on how you behave as a Muslimah outside. And, for the analogy of covered and uncovered food, i think it kinda disregards the Islam itself, in which at first place always honoring the existencies of Muslimah
I wore Hijab young at 13 years old, my parents didn't force me at that time it was my decision, now I want to take it off but I can't because they considered it as a sin. Let's be clear here, it easy to put it on and difficult to take it off
Dissapointed there are no interviewees who are muslim but not wearing a hijab. But, great job overall! :)
Indonesia have so many culture and religion, so it's common to see woman wearing hijab and nikab sitting beside a woman wearing tank top in food court.
Indonesian People: 250 M. Indonesian Culture: Hundreds. Indonesian Language: Hundreds. Indonesian Food: Millions. Indonesian Custom and Tradition: Thousands.
Its okay to wear it if one likes to wear it.
Asian boss, can't you hire better translator?
"Don't you feel hot (wearing hijab)?"
If you believe (if it's your faith) and this makes you happy... good for you! We need to do what makes us better and happier people.
I hate the food analogy. So, basically youre saying that people who dont wear hijab are not 'clean'?
When muslim women clearly want to wear hijab, people always say "she get forced to wear it" and always got judged like all of Muslim women don't want to wear it. Why you not ask sisters in church, people in temple of Buddha, and any other religion who has their own characteristics. Are they being forced to wear it? Just because you don't believe in religion or other religion, doesn't mean you can judged it.
> "women are considered very special."
As a deeply religious Muslim woman who doesn't believe in the hijab and refuses to give in to my surrounding societal pressures, it saddens me to see there's no representation of Muslim women like myself. Of course these women will say wearing the hijab is fair, that's what they've been taught! I've heard the food analogy plenty of times. Nevertheless I believe women aren't there to be consumed or to be regarded as "pure," they're people first and foremost.
