"The Role of Social Media in Pavingthe Ground for Reappearance: A Hijab Case Reni Susanti Abstract Our today’s world is not only shaped by the conventional media that provides information in the one-to-many form that controlled by media company or government, but also by the social media that gives more spaces and power to the ordinary people to spread information in the many-to-many form.
In this article I will present examples of the use of social media tools by few groups of Muslim Women to increase their capacity to spread information and ideas to global public as well as to build networks among them.
Hence, the missions of Pink Hijab Day as described in the website and Facebook page come as follows: (1) To encourage people to ask questions about Hijab, and extinguish stereotypes people may have about hijab; (2) To raise awareness and funds for breast cancer foundations across the globe; (3) To encourage Muslim women to participate in helping their own communities (Pink Hijab Day 2010; The Official Global Pink HIjab Day Site 2010).
It was even reached support from the non-Muslim women, particularly the university students and lecturers who wanted to wear pink headscarves to support the Muslim hijabis(Abdullah 2009) The movement by nature was a real world action conducted by Muslim women in America but then through the social media it could reach its global public and became a global action.
Another example of the Muslim women use of social media is a page settled in facebook under the title "Women Against the War on Hijab"."
