* The Army of Mohammed (Jaish-e-Mohammed — JeM), one of Pakistan's too-many-to-count jihadist terrorist groups, recently launched its first-ever women's wing.
* JeM chief Azhar claims that since its launch, the women's wing [which runs indoctrination courses that include specialized training for combat and suicide missions] has recruited 5,000 members.
* According to journalists who analyzed his audio message, Azhar explains how these women are now recruited, trained, and integrated into his long-term "global jihad" mission, mirroring the structure of JeM's long-running male training program.
* Azhar promised that any woman who joins the group "will go straight to paradise from her grave after death."
* The Islamic Republic of Pakistan, since its founding in 1947, is home to numerous Islamic terror organizations. JeM is also a member of the United Jihad Council (UJC), sponsored by Pakistan's Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI).
* Pakistan apparently intends to continue using terrorism to advance its agenda of exporting Islam to the rest of the world. The launch of JeM's women's wing is a further attempt to recruit more women terrorists. Given that the goal of these jihadist groups is global jihad and domination, they pose a serious security threat not just to South Asia, but also beyond.
* Pakistan has been invited by the Trump administration to join his "Board of Peace" for the purported stabilization of Gaza, and Pakistan accepted the offer.

JeM claims the women's wing has recruited 5,000 members.

The Army of Mohammed (Jaish-e-Mohammed — JeM), one of Pakistan's too-many-to-count jihadist terrorist groups, recently launched its first-ever women's wing.

The "Congregation of the Believing Women" (Jamaat-ul-Mominaat) was launched on October 9, 2025, and hosted by JeM's training facility, "Center of Usman and Ali," (Markaz Usman-o-Ali) in Bahawalpur, a city in the southeast of Pakistan's Punjab Province.

The JeM's women's wing has since held meetings, launched in-person and online radicalization events, recruitment fairs, and indoctrination courses for women and girls that include specialized training for combat and suicide missions

On October 19, JeM organized another event for the "Daughters of Islam" ("Dukhtaran-e-Islam") to attract women into the terror group. "Daughters of Islam," a radical Islamist women's organization, emerged in Pakistan-occupied Kashmir in the late 1980s.
