MHIP Day is celebrated on the 6th of July to honour the Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (MHIP), the largest women’s organisation in Mizoram. Founded in 1974, MHIP has played a crucial role in advocating for women’s rights and addressing social issues in the state.
This organisation works across various domains, including health, education, and social welfare. MHIP has been instrumental in promoting gender equality, supporting women at risk, and raising awareness about issues such as domestic violence and women’s health. Over the years, MHIP has demonstrated its commitment to societal welfare by participating in disaster response and community development projects.
On MHIP Day, various events and programmes are organised in Mizoram to highlight the achievements and contributions of the organisation. These include workshops, training sessions, and cultural programmes aimed at empowering women and encouraging their active participation in society and politics.
Dear Reader,
Every day, our team at EastMojo travels through rain, rough roads, and remote hills to bring you stories that matter – stories from your town, your people, your Northeast.
We do this because we believe in truthful, independent journalism. No big corporate backing, no government pressure – just honest reporting by local journalists who live and breathe the same air you do.
But to keep doing this work, we need you. Your small contribution helps us pay our reporters fairly, reach places others ignore, and keep asking the tough questions.
If you believe the Northeast deserves its own fearless voice, stand with us.
Support independent journalism. Be a Member.
Thank you,
Karma Paljor
