The Bharatiya Muslim Mahila Andolan (BMMA), a pan-India organisation, headquartered in Mumbai working in the space of Muslim women’s rights, held a press conference at the Mumbai Marathi Patrakar Sangh at Azad Maidan, SoBo, on Monday afternoon. 

The BMMA wanted to highlight the need for fully codified Muslim personal laws and push for an inclusive Uniform Civil Code (UCC). The panel also pointed to attacks on Muslims and their places of worship. They wished to shine the spotlight on amendments to the Waqf Bill. Codified laws refer to the rules and regulations that have been collected, restated, and written down for the purpose of providing civil order to a society.
