An Indonesian Muslim woman who went to work in Japan has complained that she is neither being allowed to pray nor wear a hijab at her workplace. The Muslim woman had been working for about six months at a mobile phone factory located in Hiroshima city. However, due to workplace rules, she was not allowed to wear a hijab while working. When Japanese coworkers asked her why Indonesian women wear the hijab and whether wearing it made her feel hot, she would get angry and had to explain it to them repeatedly. Her other complaint was that there was no separate room for prayers at the factory. Because of this, it became difficult for her to find a suitable place and time to pray during work. Then one day she went back to Indonesia and gave an interview about her complaints in a research study. But she just couldn’t understand this simple point: that dress codes in factories are not merely a formality they are part of safety and hygiene. Second, a factory exists for production and work, not for praying. Mosques already exist for that purpose. But no, they want to pray right where they work and insist on their religious demands right there.
