Yes, Britain has found its newest champion of "women's empowerment": A devout Muslim woman who showed up to collect her award at the Palace of Westminster fully covered in a niqab.

Khadija Patel, founder of the KRIMMZ Girls Youth Club, was one of 28 recipients of the prestigious British Citizen Award for her tireless work getting hundreds of young girls β€” many from Muslim backgrounds β€” into sports like cricket, soccer, cycling, netball, and more.
