Rajsamand Mahila Manch (RMM) popularly also known as MAHILA MANCH or Rajsamand Women’s Forum came into existence in Rajsamand district on 14th May, 1998. RMM being a people organization/ collective is an independent SANGHTHAN (federation) of poor, harassed, deprived, oppressed and destitute women. Prior to this, no supportive civil society or organisation was working for the upliftment of the women in this region. RMM provides opportunities for empowerment of women suffering from existing social and dogmatic adverse traditions in the society. The strategy of RMM has been women centered i.e. strengthening of women by collectivization as well as building women’s institutions at the village level to take up women related village level issues and community development over the last two decades. It has supported diverse groups of women- irrespective of caste, creed and religion in their struggles against community violence, domestic violence and built trust among single women dealing with prejudice and exclusion in their daily lives. It enables women especially those from socially and economically marginalized groups to address and deal with problems they face of isolation, lack of self confidence and oppressive social customs.
