Why we exist
We came together to support these girls.
On 7 July 2026, the principles of “national character and secularism” were added to Azerbaijan’s General Education Law; a dress requirement became mandatory for students and education staff in state schools.
On 21 September, Cabinet of Ministers decision no. 309 banned clothing deemed incompatible with the school uniform and the secularism principle. In practice, girls who wear the headscarf are not admitted to school and teachers who wear it cannot keep working.
From the walls
Hicab Allahın əmridir, namusdur!“The hijab is God's command; it is honour!”
Someone wrote these words on a wall. We say the same: the headscarf is part of a faith, and it can never be a barrier to a girl's education.
From footage shared on social media.
