A silent but explosive development inside Pakistan has set off alarm bells across Indian intelligence circles. Jaish-e-Mohammed has built a 5,000-strong women’s terror force at record speed. This recruitment drive — unprecedented in South Asia — signals a dangerous escalation in Pakistan’s state-nurtured jihad ecosystem under the brand new CDF Asim Munir.
Pakistan and Its Rapidly Growing Female Jihad Network
Masood Azhar is not hiding his excitement. In a public post, he bragged about the recruitment into Jamaat-ul-Mominaat. This JeM’s new women’s wing grew so rapidly that district-level command structures must now be formed. Intelligence agencies confirm that the drive began on 8 October 2025 from the outfit’s headquarters, Markaz Usman-o-Ali in Bahawalpur. The same location in India has repeatedly been flagged as a terror nerve centre by FATF and the UN.
Women Jihadis have been mobilised from Multan, Karachi, Sialkot, Muzaffarabad, Kotli, and Bahawalpur.
Offices for the women’s wing are now being quietly set up in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir, mirroring Lashkar-e-Taiba’s expansion model from the early 2000s. Leadership rests with Azhar’s sister, Sadia, heading the operation. Masood’s other sister, Afira, the widow of Pulwama attack plotter Umar Farooq, helps run ideological training. This isn’t fringe activism – it is a structured terror bureaucracy.
Online indoctrination sessions run for 40 minutes each, and recruits pay a token ₹500 to participate in the course.
Women Jihadis are channelled into a specialised radicalisation course called Daura-e-Taskiya, a female equivalent of Jaish’s combat grooming. Under Sharia-influenced restrictions, women may not speak to unrelated men, use social media freely, or make autonomous choices. Their world shrinks into a tunnel vision of martyrdom. The Red Fort blast that killed 15 people jolted investigators into recognising the scale of this network.
The arrest of Dr Shaheen Saeed in Faridabad — with explosives and direct links to Jamaat-ul-Mominaat — marked the first concrete manifestation of this new template:
Women who look ordinary, move unnoticed, and deliver high-impact terror.
A Nation Promotes Terror Networks and A World That Ignores It!
What makes this moment uniquely dangerous is not just the recruitment — it is the ease with which it was allowed. Under Asim Munir, Pakistan has jailed journalists, intimidated political opponents, expanded military censorship, and cracked down on civilian dissent. Yet an army of 5,000 women can join a UN-listed terror organisation without triggering one single raid, one questioning, or one disruption.
Historically, Pakistan has used women in peripheral roles for jihad, but this level of mobilisation echoes tactics used by the LTTE in Sri Lanka, ISIS in Syria, and Hamas in Gaza.
Jihadi organisations weaponised women precisely to bypass global suspicion. JeM is now adopting the same playbook, confident that Pakistan’s establishment will not stop it. However, global institutions and watchdogs have long indulged Pakistan’s double game.
FATF grey-listed Islamabad in the past, but took it off again despite evidence that Jaish and Lashkar networks continue to operate openly. Terrorism rebrands itself and recruits under fresh banners while the USA lauds NaPak’s Asim Munir. The UN Security Council still avoids confronting Pakistan directly, even when terror videos, confessionals, and training propaganda circulate with impunity.
The world pretends that it’s an Indian problem – Why does the world forget that NaPak Terror networks perpetrate Jihad all over the world?
How Long Will the World Ignore Pakistan and Its Terror Paradise?
The rise of a women-led fidayeen force should trigger an emergency debate in the UN, FATF, EU Parliament, and Washington. Instead, the world remains politely blind. Almost as if unwilling to confront a nuclear-armed state that has turned terrorism into a national industry. So the questions stand, sharper than ever:
- How many more Red Forts will burn?
- How many Pulwamas must be repeated?
- How many “new wings,” “new modules,” and “new charities” must emerge before global bodies finally name Pakistan for what it is?
Because this is not a rogue cell, it is not an isolated experiment.
This is Pakistan, under Asim Munir, openly cultivating a 5,000-woman terror brigade while the world looks the other way.
And if this is ignored again, the consequences will not be confined to India.
