We hear the stories of five Muslim women from different walks of life and racial backgrounds who live across Australia. They tell us their reasons for covering-up and the struggles they go through as visible representatives of their faith in the face of increasing Islamophobia. By simply being themselves and choosing to don the hijab, these women are Making a Difference.
