Punjab police have been improving their practices and ways for a long time now. They are often praised for it and now they have decided to win the publics hearts once again. One of the rules of living in an Islamic state is that women have to cover their heads with headscarves otherwise known as hijabs. However, in modern and liberal Islamic states like Pakistan, the idea of headscarves or the hijab is becoming obsolete. But apparently not for the Punjab Police.
Punjab police have now made the hijab compulsory for their female police officers. It is now a mandatory part of their uniforms. Next time you see any female police officer on duty she is likely to be in a hijab.
The decision to make headscarves mandatory for female officers in the Punjab police force was based on a survey that was conducted among women personnel to know their opinions on wearing headscarves with their uniforms. The survey results showed that a majority of the female officers were in favor of wearing headscarves, with olive green, black, and blue being the most popular colors. The logistics department of the Punjab police force has been directed to provide the scarves in these colors.
The Punjab police aim to promote religious and cultural diversity within the organization while also ensuring that all female officers feel comfortable and respected in their workplace. Additionally, the scarves will complement the uniform and create a sense of uniformity among the officers.
The Punjab police force hopes that this new policy will encourage other organizations to promote diversity and inclusivity in their workplace as well. The introduction of the headscarf as a mandatory part of the uniform is a small step towards creating a more inclusive and accepting society for all.
