Normally I am all for innovative ideas that help the homeless, this, I just can't get behind. Many here in the US rail against the wearing of niqab in conjunction with a hijab because we consider it de-humanizing to women. How is this any different? Doesn't covering up someone's face tend to de-humanize them thereby making them easier to victimize? Joseph Merrick comes to mind.
"...[I]t allows the wearer to be in public, and remain somewhat inconspicuous." Ask Tryvon Martin how well that worked out.
Sorry I don't see anything good about this product and not just in regards to use by the homeless.
