A full-face veil has some kinds such as niqab and burqa. Women with full-face veil generally become the target of stigma. This study explores full-face veiled women’s experiences including their motivation that encourage them to wear it, the stigma they face, and how they cope with the stigma. Five women who wear full-face veils involved in this study. Data collected using semi-structured interviews and analyzed using interpretative phenomenological analysis. The result shows that wearing full-face veil is motivated primarily by religious loyalty and for guarding them from sexual objectification. Their strong religious loyalty make them ready to face stigma labelled by their surrounding society such as accused as a fanatic, a member of terrorist group, and being avoided by their surrounding people. The strategies they use to cope with the stigma cover internal and external strategies. The internal strategies consist of ignoring the stigma and taking the view that the stigma is caused by the surrounding society’s misunderstanding. Meanwhile, the external strategies include of taking effort to clarify and give the explanation to revise the misunderstanding, as well as participating in neighborhood activities.
