Meira Paibi, Manipur

Meira Paibi was another women’s movement started in the late 1970s to control the social order and gendered violence occurring due to alcoholism and drug abuse. Meira Paibi (meaning the torch bearers – the meira symbolises the declaration of war) presently aims to protects human rights in their community and fight against the injustices of AFSPA(Armed Force Special Protection Act).

The Meira Paibis also participated in the protest against the Thangjam Manoramarape case in Manipur against the armed forces. The women of this movement are ordinary women who want to protect their community. These women do not resort to violence rather they burn torches till dawn. Today, Meira Paibi are more organised and have a long way to go
