«Breaking News» Kiwis don headscarves as they pay tribute to 50 Muslims killed in the Christchurch mosque massacre

Thousands of women across New Zealand have put religious differences aside and proudly donned hijabs in memory of the 50 victims killed in last week's terrorist attack in Christchurch.  

The Headscarf for Harmony movement came to life across the country in an united display of solidarity on Friday, one week on since the devastating tragedy.

The social media campaign has grown momentum in recent days, which encouraged non-Muslim women to wear headscarves for a day under the hashtag #headscarfforharmony in a pledge of support to the Muslim community in the wake of the mass shooting which killed dozens of worshippers at two mosques.

Men were also invited to join the widespread movement.

The 'Wear a Headscarf Friday' group  was aimed at women in Christchurch and was supported by the New Zealand Muslim Association.

'Many Muslim women in Christchurch are feeling too afraid to wear their headscarves (hijab). Women, Let's show our solidarity by wearing one this this Friday,' the Wear a Headscarf Friday Facebook page states.

There were hundreds of colourful hijabs among the thousands of mourners who gathered at Hagley Park in front of the Al Noor mosque, where many of the victims died.

A Muslim call to prayer was broadcast nationally at 1.30pm, followed by two minutes of silence.

Christchurch wasn't the only community to embrace the Headscarf for Harmony movement.

Hundreds of women across New Zealand have posted photos of themselves proudly wearing hijab at work, home and out in the community on the Wear a Headscarf Friday Facebook page and on other social media platforms.

'Scarfed up at Eastgate, in solidarity with people everywhere who should be able to feel safe in public regardless of how they're dressed or what religion they are,' one woman posted.

The headscarfforharmony began after Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern wore a black headscarf while meeting and comforting relatives of killed and injured victims a day following the tragedy.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
