Dukhtaran-e-Millat (transl. Daughters of the Nation; abbreviated as DeM) is an all-women outfit that advocates for jihad to establish Islamic law in Kashmir and for the secession of Jammu and Kashmir from India. It is a front organisation of the Hizbul Mujahideen, a jihadist militant group.
The group was founded in 1987, and is headed by Asiya Andrabi, an "Islamic feminist". During the Kashmir militancy in the early 1990s, the group issued threats to women not wearing a face veil and burqa, some of whom became victims of acid attacks.
The Government of India designated it a terrorist organisation and banned it in 2018.
