I don't think usually is an apt word to use to describe that. Usually people wear the hijab freely as a cultural practice. There are cases where people are forced to wear a hijab or, more plausibly, a burka, and those incidents are deplorable. However, we should not confuse the forced wearing of the hijab, which is inherently oppressive, with the traditional wearing of he hijab, which can be empowering. In a similar respect, purity rings in the West are empowering insofar as women choose to wear them and abide by their pledge. Like many things in the world, the hijab is a good thing insofar as women choose to wear it, which the most common scenario.

In fact, in many governments women are forced not to wear veils, which can be oppressive for Muslim women raised to value modesty.

But even if forced, it's only sexist if it's unequal, and in many Islamic countries where women are forced to dress conservatively, men do too.
