caption_attribution_description: English: Iraqi girl smiles. Iraqi girl living next to Al Daura Oil Refinery in Baghdad pauses for a smile amongst jostling children. I managed to snap a picture of this stunning looking Iraqi girl while I was touring Al Daura Oil Refinery as part of the Human Shield Action to Iraq. I took this photo, and many more, of the children living next to the refinery where their parents worked. They were all quite enjoying themselves and I managed to get mobbed a couple of times. I often look back on this photo and wonder if she, and her friends, are still alive. I hope to go back one day and find out. —Christiaan 11:58, 5 Feb 2005 (UTC)
context_page_description: The word is used in particular to refer to clothing which covers a woman's chest, head and hair. This is often done in Islam for females over the age of puberty. The headscarf, a symbol of hijab, is worn in the presence of adult males outside their immediate family. It is not necessary when females or males are within their immediate family.
  The Arabic word used to specifically mean this is "khimār". This "veil" can come in several different types, such as an ordinary veil, a niqab, a burka which covers the entire body, and any form of covering used to veil. There are many styles to wear. Muslim men must also observe standards of modest dress.
  The Quran has no requirement that women cover their faces with a veil, or cover their bodies with the full-body burqa or chador.
