Non-Muslim girls in Lincolnshire are being asked to wear a hijab for a day to raise awareness of discrimination.
Ghada Mohamed said she came up with the idea in response to a number of incidents where girls wearing hijabs were subjected to abuse.
The campaigner, who is a member of the Lincoln Muslim Sisters Forum, said it would lead to better understanding.
She hopes secondary schools across the county will sign up.
Talking about the abuse some girls have faced, Mrs Mohamed said: "If they have been attacked or abused it's not because other children are bad.
"It's just because they don't have the knowledge."
'Part of identity' The hijab day, to be held in November, will help non-Muslim children learn more about what it is like to wear a hijab, and the reasons behind it, she said.
One Muslim girl said the hijab was part of her identity, but wearing it sometimes made her feel like she was not part of the community.
She said she supported the idea of a hijab day.
"They would see it's just a piece of cloth covering our heads.
"It would be a big step to letting people know it's just a headscarf - nothing else," she said.

Are Muslims being asked to wear a Cross for a day?
Wouldn’t it be more productive to ask the Muslim girls to go hijab-free for a day to see if they like it?
It’s not just a piece of cloth. If it was, go ahead and take it off to see what happens.
In London, the saddest sight I’ve seen is a little girl at the museum with her fellow students or in a schoolyard running around with classmates - and she’s already wearing a veil.
Are Moslem men so uncontrollable that the little girl has to cover up to avoid exciting the males?
Wouldn’t it be more productive to make mooselimb men dress in drag for a week and wear high heels?
I agree. In fact sometimes when I see a woman wearing that ge up I say “You don’t have to wear that anymore here in the US.”
Yeah and remove their clits…for a day. Ridiculous.
It's not just lititle girls who are veiled. I think any man who requires women to wear a veil is threatened by women. Talk about blaming the vic.
Why aren’t muslim girls asked to lose the hijab for a day to experience freedom?
Muslims believe that women’s hair has magical, electronic, evil powers over men. That’s why muslims demand that women keep their hair covered. Muslims also insist that women’s genitalia be cut. Muslim mean are so brave, aren’t they? Afraid of women’s hair and crotches!
Islam and the Left are allied against freedom and Western civ.
Is it Halloween already?
Practice subjugation for a day. Helps you accept your new masters.
I have family in Lincolnshire. I’ll have to ask them about this. I can’t imagine this is going over well in that household.
Maybe they should ask non Lutheran girls to bring a hotdish to school also.
“Are Moslem men so uncontrollable that the little girl has to cover up to avoid exciting the males?”
She’s probably already been promised off in marriage to some older man. That’s one of the things wearing a hijab means, servitude and submission to some old Muzzie man.
