Do more women wear hijab in Turkey now than 5yrs or 10yrs ago?

Question

I'm asking this because I have been to Turkey twice,

once 5yrs ago and a once a few months ago.

5yrs ago I was in Istanbul, and then not so many women wore hijab but when I recently visited Trabzon at least 80% of women were wearing hijab.

Has there been a change in the last few years so that more women wear hijab (or is Trabzon just a more conservative city)

Coz wear I live (A Western country) many more more women wear hijab now than did a few years ago. Is it same in Turkey too?

Answer 1

Unfortunately yes..

Answer 2

farzia as soon as you arrive to Turkiye you can take off your scarf.we dont use the word hicap.it s funny let me tell you.it like pick up truck.

Answer 3

I moved to Istanbul 5 years ago and rarely ever saw women in the hijab and maybe one out of 25 women had a headscarf but now I see more of the hijab and probably see 1 out of 10 women with a headscarf on the street.  I think it is changing.  As I know though, Trabzon is a more conservative city.

(Just for my two cents worth, I think it is fine if they want to wear a headscarf or the whole deal but don't tell me I have to wear it and don't look bad on me because I don't.  I think it is everyone's right to wear what they want or what they believe they should....as long as it isn't forced on someone, more power to you.  :)  Sorry had to add that in... )

Answer 4

trabzon and istanbul are different cities. ppl are different. beliefs are different. go konya you would be like you are in iran

Answer 5

No, I think less people wear them, even in the small villages in the southwest of Turkey where there used to be many covered ladies walking about in the 90s.
