According to The Express Tribune, a survey was given to British-Muslim women who wear Hijabs have more of a positive body image. The article states that, "British Muslim women who wear a hijab generally have a more positive body image, are less reliant on media messages about beauty ideals and place less importance on appearance than those who do not wear a hijab, says an Indian-origin researcher." The survey was conducted by Dr. Viren Swami. Dr. Swami is a reader in psychology at the University of Westminster. Swami revealed to The Express Tribune who took the survey. According to Swami, "Participants of this study were 587 Muslim women, aged 18-70 years, recruited from the community in London.A number of different ethnic groups were represented in the study, namely, Bangladeshi, Pakistani, Indian and Arabs." As one can see from the survey, a multiple number of women were chosen and from all different ages and regions.
