MADRID, 14 Mar. (CHANCE) -
D&G creó una colección en la que incluía hiyab y Mango, por el ramadán, diseñó algunos vestidos, blusas y pantalones especiales para esta festividad y ahora Nike acaba de anunciar que en 2018 pondrá a la venta su primera hijab para mujeres deportistas. Pero no ha recibido tantos apoyos como las otras dos firmas.
El Nike Pro Hiyab ha sido diseñado y probado por dos deportistas de alto nivel, la patinadora Zahra Lari y la levantadora de peso Amna Al Haddad, cuyas cuentas en las redes sociales se han llenado de críticas. ¿Está reñido el feminismo con llevar la cabeza cubierta? Preguntaba una usuaria de la red.
"Soy consciente de que hay una gran cantidad de reacciones muy diferentes sobre por qué Nika ha decidido crear este producto ahora", escribió Amna. "Muchas mujeres han expresado la necesidad de él y muchas atletas profesionales han luchado por competir con un pañuelo en la cabeza y tienen unas condiciones de igualdad. Hicimos algo grande en las noticias y que no podía ser ignorado", apostilló.
With the Nike Pro Hijab Launch, I do realize there is a lot of mixed reactions as to why Nike decided to create such a product "now." __ From my perspective as a former athlete who competed in Hijab, in the past, the big brands didn't see the need or market for it as it was not "popular" and it was unheard of to see women train, exercise and compete in hijab. __ It is a recent phenomenon where more women have expressed a need for it and more professional athletes have fought for rights to compete with a headscarf, and have an equal playing field. We made it big in the news, we couldn't be ignored. __ As Muslim women, we have been vocal in the media about it - personally since 2011 - the big guys can't help but notice us "the underdogs" and our impact in the sports industry and world. They know that we are here to stay and decided to join the party and create another "competitive" sport hijab in the market, which by the way, did exist in the market for few years now. __ As an innovative company, they will create products and they will meet market needs - whatever they may be. It is not dismissing any other hard work done in the past to develop sports hijabs, it's just there is more competition in the market for modest clothing now. __ I support Muslim women with or without hijab, and how they dress is their choice. And with the Nike Sports Hijab, it surely will encourage a new generation of athletes to pursue sports professionally, and without us athletes who fought for this right and made it happen, Nike wouldn't "just do it." __ Ps. This is purely my opinion on the matter, not paid for or asked to be written. Much Love, -Amna

sí, este espíritu de superación y deportividad parece no gustar a todo el mundo.
