Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl

Mizo Hmeichhe Insuihkhawm Pawl (meaning "binding women together" in the Mizo language) or MHIP was formed in the union territory of Mizoram, India, on 6 July 1974.

[1][2][3] Following the 2009 decision of the Delhi High Court to legalize same-sex relationships, MHIP joined an anti-LGBT alliance with Mizoram Upa Pawl (MUP), the Young Mizo Association (YMA) and the Mizo Zirlai Pawl (MZP).

[1] The 2014 Mizo Marriage Divorce and Inheritance of Property Act abolished the customary practice in which a wife was left with nothing after a divorce and established that a wife could end up with up to 50 per cent of any property.

[2][5] During the 2018 assembly elections, MHIP repeated its calls for more women to stand as candidates.

[7][8] In Mizoram, 6 July is marked as MHIP Day and is a national bank holiday.
