To every hijabi girl who has been humiliated, denied access to restaurants, pools, hotels and denied jobs — today, this award is for you...To speak up LOUDER, STRONGER and have NO FEAR to stand up for your right…Thank you @Facebook for giving us a voice and for giving us a platform to express ourselves with a mere objective to change the world (sic).”

Receiving the award means that “Surviving Hijab” will obtain monetary support to grow and aide more hijab-wearing women across the world. Facebook’s community leadership program was created to inspire, offer up a platform to community global leaders, and provide financial support to assist them in raising awareness for their causes. Out of 6000 applicants for the award, Manal Rostom’s initiative, “Surviving Hijab” made the cut. Supporting everything hijabi, Manal wears a t-shirt featuring the name of her Facebook group and an icon of a hijab emoji which was created by Rayouf Alhumedhi.
