She claims the hijab is a way for her to have power and security over her body, giving her the ability to control what she shows and what others see while still embracing her culture and religion. Nusrat is well educated in human rights and psychology proving the misconception that women who wear hijabs are not educated and have no rights as just another stereotype. By letting everyone know she is well educated, she is making a claim that we should not automatically assume things upon women that wear hijabs or are of the Muslim religion. .
While Nusrat is much more specific as to why she wears a hijab and what it means to her, in "Veiled Threat: The Guerrilla Graffiti of Princess Hijab" Princess Hijab does not associate her paintings of the hijab on advertisements with religion. Her paintings of the hijab on advertisements are more of an artistic approach to showing society and spreading awareness about big advertisement companies degrading both men and women bodies. Princess Hijab wants to reveal the oppressiveness of the advertising industry in hopes of both men and women gaining control of there body and taking away from what the ads want them to be or look like. As seen in the Dolce and Gabbana advertisement, Princess Hijab covers up the top with a hijab and leaves the bottom of both men and women exposed as a way to take back their identities and create gender equality. .
While both Princess Hijab and Nusrat use the hijab, the hijab means and is interpreted differently by both women. In "Veiled Threat" the hijab is used mainly as a symbol on both men and women as a way to cover them up from the advertisement companies exploiting their bodies. In Nusrats article, she says "I believe my hijab gives me the right to assert my body, femininity and spirituality as my own and under my authority alone". It seems the hijab is her way of life and has a lot of significance to how she sees and perceives life rather than just a piece of cloth that she wears on a daily basis.
