This is me – Redefining hijab as a symbol of strength and freedom


In a world where the hijab is frequently misunderstood and misrepresented, "This is Me" emerges as an embodiment of empowerment and inspiration. Through the fascinating journey of Zara, a creative fashion designer, viewers are transported to a world where the hijab transcends its conventional connotation to become a symbol of power, individuality, and freedom. As Zara’s hijab creations reflect mystical energy, she starts on a daring mission to defy society's standards and empower people to embrace their individuality.

Set against the backdrop of Pakistani society, "This is Me" dives deeply into the lives of courageous hijabi women who face cultural challenges with unwavering confidence and determination. The animation depicts Zara’s effort to defy misconceptions and cherish the beauty of self-expression.

Inspired by a profound admiration for the experiences of Pakistani hijabi women, the "This is Me" promotional campaign aims to uplift and encourage young women who want to wear the hijab and those who are already facing comparable challenges. Through its portrayal of the hijab as a sign of freedom rather than oppression, the movie hopes to create awareness, encourage dialogue, and give people the confidence to be who they truly are.
