Hijab - Our choice x

Recently there has been issues where some people are thinkig that the hijab is being forced on to muslim girls. Now only you and me know that, it is not true. It is our choice to wear it and we wish to continue wearing it. Who do you think is responsible for these ideas going through to people? Is it me or you? Is it the media, the papers, news? or is it the fact that people don't know enough about us hijabis?
Well I think its that people don't know enough about us. Because if they did they would know that we feel a lot more safe wearing the hijab.
Personally I think that it helps us avoid critisism on what we are wearing, if we keep up with the trends or not, if our hair looks good etc. But there is the more religious side to wearing the hijab too.
This verse encourages the hijab in the Holy Qur'an: "O Prophet! Tell your wives and your daughters and the women of the believers that they should cast their outer garments over them (when abroad); this is more proper, that they should be known (recognized as such) and not molested. And Allah is ever Forgiving, Merciful." 
Holy Qur'an (33:59)
