HISTORY OF MHIP DAY IN MIZORAM<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first phase of the Indian women\u2019s liberation movement took place between 1850 to 1915. British colonialism brought European ideas and the question of gender roles and individual rights. Men primarily drove early efforts to end the practice of widow-immolation, a tradition where widows had to burn themselves following the passing of their husbands. A rise in nationalist ideals hampered efforts to liberate Indian women from archaic social roles. Nationalists called for resistance to European morals and a return to old traditions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After World War II, Indian feminists began to redefine women\u2019s roles in society, especially in the workplace and national politics. Inequalities such as wage gaps, harassment, and relegation to unskilled positions. Women began to acknowledge the role of class differences in terms of caste, wealth, and education in holding back nationwide empowerment drives. The focus shifted to empowering women at the grassroots in the 1960s and 1970s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The M.H.I.P. was set up on July 6, 1974. As the only organization serving women and the most prominent volunteer organization in the province, the M.H.I.P. was registered under Registration No. 5 of 1977 and headquartered in Aizawl. At the organization\u2019s founding, Mizoram was a Union Territory. This is considered the third phase of the Indian feminist movement. Organizations like the M.H.I.P. continue to carry the torch of female empowerment, uplifting and enlightening the women of Mizoram province.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
