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.[1]

The group was founded in 1987, and is headed by Asiya Andrabi, a self-described "Islamic feminist".[2]

The Government of India has designated it as a terrorist organisation and it remains banned as of 2018. [3]
