Australians are using the #illridewithyou hashtag to offer company to those wearing religious attire who may fear abuse on public transport.
Restoring our faith in humanity #Australia
The hashtag began when a woman named Rachel posted on Facebook about an interaction she had on the train this morning during her commute.
She says that a woman sitting next to her was "silently removing her hijab" for fear of comments from fellow commuters in relation to the hostage situation unfolding in Sydney this morning.
