Sara S. sits and talks with friends at Lykksekolen in Aarhus, Denmark. Sara is one of the few girls in her class that has not yet taken the hijab, the Muslim veil. Women of the Muslim religion typically take the veil around the age of 14 or 15, around the time of first mensturation. However, many decide to wear the hijab at an earlier age of their own accord and some decide not to wear it at all.
