 She is Sumreen Farooq, 18, she was racially abused in a London street. Eventually Sumreen decided to take a stance and started to wear Hijab.

There is a misconception that men force women to wear scarf but Sundas, who is Oxford University graduate with a PhD in sociology, is telling a different story.
"My husband left it up to me as he doesn t practise ritualistic religion. We both have a mixed identity, our religious, ethnic, and national identities are all important to us, "said Sundas.
