Organisers for the Headscarf for Harmony initiative have called on people to wear headscarves in solidarity with the Muslim community following the Christchurch mosque shootings.

 The movement calls on people to wear headscarves on Friday 22 March, a week on from the Christchurch twin mosque shootings that killed 50 people. 

Headscarves are also being worn as a mark of respect by policewomen and non-Muslim volunteers directing the crowds around a site in Christchurch holding communal prayers.
