Abstract
As a result of the 9/11 attacks, in the United states and the 7/7 bombings in London, Muslims around Western societies became targeted and viewed as dangerous terrorists who hold the responsibility for all the bad events and troubles in the west. This is due to media coverage after, which takes the principle part in distorting the image of Islam and Muslims. Consequently Muslim communities in western societies have been subjected to pressure and fear from Islamophobic attacks. veiled Muslim women are the most victimized by the actions of abuse due to their visibility in public spaces. This research aims to examine the veiled Muslim women's suffering in Britain due to Islamophobic victimization in public places and the way they resisted Islamophobia and defended their religion and Identity. For achieving that they were obliged to raise their voices to fight stereotypes and prejudice. Women's organizations played a pivotal role in changing the situation of Muslim women to co-exist and integrate in the British society.
