Iran's female NINJAS!

Iran, always at the forefront of Muslim women sports, has another notch to add to their post.
Iranian Ministry of Sport, built ninjutsu clubs where more than 3000 women and girls train in this martial art.

Why the first range is called "Pioneer"

Muslim women in sports, Hijabee athletes, Islamic sportswear, sports hijab...

These are all terms that have only recently made the main spotlight of the global community.
Muslim women in sports in sports hijabs, are still few and far between especially in the professional world of sports.
This range is to celebrate those brave women who stepped out in faith and with their own strong wills, entered the world of professional sports.

They challenged hijab bans, defied the nay-sayers, and are spearheading this revolution.
Such are the likes of Ibtihaj Muhammad, Kulsoom Abdullah (who is not quite pro, but almost), Ruqayah al Ghasrah and many more.

They are the pioneers.

UPDATE: FIFA lifts ban on hijabs after petition

WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT
During youth Olympics Football Tournament in Singapore 2010, FIFA & the executive committee issued that players couldn’t not wear a headscarf - Hijab, However the players may wear a cap that covers the players heads to the hairline, but does not extend below the ears to cover the neck
Girls and Women from many countries were affected by the following decision and were not allowed to play, which was a painful moment to the players from Jordan, Palestine ,Bahrain and Iran during the Olympics Qualification Rounds 2011.

This petition was done to show the community support to women wearing Headscarfs – Hijab playing football. We need everyone's support in this petition to be sent to FIFA and to hope FIFA will reconsider this decision and allow us to play with the Headscarf
خلال دورة الالعاب الاولمبية للشابات 2010 في سنغافورة،أصدرت اللجنة التنفيذية و الفيفا قرار بمنع اللاعبات من ارتداءالحجاب ، و يجوز للاعبات ارتداء قبعة تغطي رأس اللاعبة ، ولكن لا تمتد أسفل الأذنين لتغطية الرقبة.
والفيفا ستصدر قرارا نهائيا مارس 2012 في هذه المسألة، ونحن بهذه العريضة نتمنى جمع اكبر عدد من الاصوات لنبين دعم المجتمع لسمح ارتداء الحجاب في جميع مباريات كرة القدم المحلية والدولية

Chest-covering friniggi sports hijabs

BEST FEATURE: COVERS CHEST
How? It's specialised cut allows it to drape over the chest while fitting snugly around the head, without being overly tight. This limits unnecessary movement of the sports hijab when you move. But still covers you the way you want it too.

Pioneer 702

See how far things travel on the internet

Three years ago I got involved in the PINK HIJAB DAY campaign and started the first campaign of its kind in Botswana.

There was an article written in the local paper at that time. Little did I know it was picked up in United Kingdom and published in The Muslim Weekly, a newspaper for Muslims in that area. Due to other obligations (such as this sportswear brand *guilty face*) I could no longer give enough time to PHD and tried to hand it over to more capable individuals. Surprise, surprise, no one wanted the job.. It's no longer held in Botswana. But that year we raised and donated over P22000 to the Cancer Association of Botswana.

I hope to do similar things with Muslim Women Sports Development insha Allah.
See it on their site: http://www.themuslimweekly.com/DetailView.aspx?NEWSID=TW00013880
I like how good news spreads around the world. I just wish good news would be reported more on the prime time news too.
