I'm facing the same issue while building my profile. I can't proceed because Upwork isn't accepting my photo with Niqab. Please help me out in this regard.

Hi Arooba,

 

We definitely accommodate for situations like this. Could you please try uploading your profile picture again? You should be able to upload the one where you're wearing Niqab.

I want to work as a freelancer on Upwork and was looking forward to establishing my reputation here on Upwork. But I was really disappointed with the fact that you needed a face-to-face photo to complete the profile.

As you may know, many girls here in Muslim countries cover their faces, so I think the fact is that we can't work because of this simple problem.

Hi Tahrim,

 

Our team reached out to you via ticket to assist you further with your profile image. Thank you.

Thank You Sir.

Waiting.....

Hi There, 

Yes, I agree with Tahrim that profile pic should be optional or not necessarily a face-photo as some countries are sensitive showing face photo.  I think upWork should be sensitive or considerate regarding this matter. I don't believe that true face-photo reflects your skills and professionalism with upWork community.  

 

Kudos to all!
