In one video, a female campaigner shouts “spit out your insults” after she is told to cover her head. In another video, a father stands up for his daughter after a passer-by orders her to “observe hijab”. The father tells the man “I don't believe that nonsense.” A second passer-by then intercedes, and tells the first man, “You can warn her calmly, right? You can't slap a woman.”
