In yet another incident of Islamophobia, an orphanage rejected 27-year-old Muslim woman’s job application because she wears Hijab.
According to the news published in Indian Express, Nedal Zoya, a native of Patna was searching job in Delhi. She completed her masters in Social Work from Tata Institute of Social Science, Mumbai.
In the month of October, she applied for a job in the Orphanage for Girls in Kotla Mubarakpur. Management of the orphanage asked her to write an online test and send her photos.
However, organization rejected her job application because she wears Hijab.
In a mail, Harish Varma, President and CEO of the orphanage wrote that the institution is “religion-free”. He further mentioned that she looks like a Muslim even from a distance of 1 km.
Reacting to it, Zoya replied that wearing Hijab is a priority for her.
