Women of various faiths in Sweden and other countries wore headscarves to show solidarity for a Muslim woman who was allegedly attacked for wearing a hijab in Sweden.
The attacker reportedly tore off the pregnant woman's hijab and hit her head against a car. The victim's friends told local media that the assailant also shouted racist insults at her.
The victim told the police she believes it was a faith-based hate crime.
Several women started campaigning against the attack using the hashtag #hijabuppropet (hijab outcry).
