As Australia’s first Muslim international cricketer, Khawaja knows the sting of being an outsider and warns that Muslim women wearing hijabs are often the most targeted. With reports of a 40% surge in Islamophobic incidents since last December—and growing brazenness and violence—he’s rallying bystanders to speak up, report hate, and demand change. This isn’t just about stopping individual acts—it’s about reshaping society to ensure everyone feels safe, seen, and respected.
