abstract: The hijab, a veil worn by Muslim women to cover their heads, has become more
popular in Indonesia in the last two decades. History records that the hijab-wearing
culture in Indonesia goes back to the 17th century. However, despite many
Indonesian women wearing it, controversies surround the hijab.
A principal in Riau province triggered a backlash for suggesting all female students
wear a hijab even though they were not all Muslims. Meanwhile, the public was
furious when a female athlete from Aceh was disqualified for wearing a hijab in the
judo ring at the 2018 Asian Para Games.
This article aims to analyse how hijab-wearing culture in Indonesia has changed and
why it remains a source of controversy.
