Our guest is Alaa, an Egyptian woman living in Turkey. As a final-year medical student studying in Turkey, she described the various challenges she faced as a hijabi woman in Turkey. She said that although Turkey is a predominantly Muslim country, she has encountered some people who called her “Syrian” and harassed her physically and verbally just because of her appearance. We discussed Turks' tendency to confuse every Arab with Syrians and associate them with terrorism and threats. We touched upon the hardships of accepting everyone as they are and not discriminating against someone just because of their race or ethnicity. She is a role model for those who have been oppressed in Turkey just because of their religious views.
