More about Hijabs and Hat-tricks
Hijabs and Hat-tricks is a bespoke programme designed to ease the path of girls of the Muslim faith into full participation as active citizens in Irish society through the medium of football. At the current time Islamophobia is rife in society and it is incumbent on us to create ways to stop alienation of Muslim children and youth. Football has proved to be a popular way of encouraging young Muslim women to participate in sport - and hence society - and at the the same time challenging the twin scourges of sexism and Islamophobia.
