Abstract

Indonesia has the largest Muslim population in the world. Although Muslim is the major religion in the country, only a few moslem women wear veil. Veil or niqab (in Arabic) is a cloth for covering head or face (for women). Alvara Research Centre (2018) has revealed that the number of women wearing veil is less than 2%. The small number is caused by the society's different perspectives. To the pro, wearing a veil is a way to be closer to God and to elevate their Islam faith. Those who wear veil in the digital age do social relation through social media network such as Facebook and Instagram. They tend to do selfies in the hope to strengthen their self identity as a Moslem woman. The research objective is to know how veiled women show their identity in social media. According to Littlejohn, identity is meaning which is learned and obtained by self and is projected to others whenever they communicate (2). This is a descriptive qualitative research which explains the strengthening of veiled women self identity through Facebook and Instagram. This divides the results of research into two sections of self identity. Firstly, the subjective dimension, which is the emotion or feeling of veiled women when socializing in Facebook and Instagram. Secondly, the ascribed dimension, which is what others say about self, in this case the description of their followers about veiled women. The informants consist of four people; two veiled women who are active in social media and two women who are the followers of the accounts.
