“I’m scared that today will be the last day I felt somewhat safe wearing my hijab.”
After Donald Trump won the US presidential election early Wednesday morning, several American Muslim women are expressing fear for their safety while wearing a hijab.
American Muslims on social media reacted to the news that Trump — who has made derogatory comments towards Muslims and has proposed a ban on Muslim immigration — had won the election.
"Trump wins — my cousins get deported, I'm scared to wear my hijab, women are punished for abortions, Syrian refugees suffer," one woman said.
"My 8 year old sister just told me she's scared to be muslim," another woman tweeted. "That broke my heart."
