Top intelligence sources have revealed that Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM) has established a women’s wing named Jamaat al-Mu’minaat (Community of Believing Women) as part of its evolving strategy for psychological warfare, grassroots recruitment, and funding operations. The initiative is reportedly targeting women in Jammu & Kashmir, Uttar Pradesh, and southern Indian states.
The outreach strategy reportedly uses a combination of devotional imagery and religious rhetoric. Circulatory materials feature photographs of Mecca and Medina, alongside Quranic verses, to lend divine legitimacy to JeM’s narrative. The propaganda, delivered in a spiritual and morally instructive tone, is designed to attract educated, urban Muslim women and gradually expose them to the organization’s political and jihadist ideology.
Intelligence sources indicated that the women recruited under this initiative are expected to function as recruiters, message couriers, and fundraisers, mirroring the operational setup of JeM’s male cadres. This strategy is intended to keep male operatives away from direct exposure, while women manage critical logistical and information tasks.
The programme reportedly includes markaz-level meetings to secure funding, using religious ceremonies as cover for hawala or donation-based collections routed through NGOs and madrasa networks under the banner of Islah-e-Ummah (reform of the community). The circulars circulated by JeM specifically invoke spiritual obligation and collective religious duty to motivate participation, echoing narratives used by previous global female jihad initiatives.
Sources confirmed that the layout, content style, and theological tone of the recruitment material strongly resemble publications from Pakistan-based Al-Muhajirat, JeM’s earlier female cadre initiative, and materials from the Markaz Usman-o-Ali in Bahawalpur, indicating a sophisticated cross-border design of the indoctrination program. The program is reportedly designed for both online dawa (preaching) and misinformation campaigns, while simultaneously facilitating critical funding support.
