History edit

MSF state conference of 2011 [5] triggered the birth of Haritha. Around 1,500 girls had registered online, then Haritha was officially founded in 2012 at Calicut, Kerala with Najma Thabsheera and Fathima Thahiliya as its main organiser and Fathima Thahiliya as the founding general secretary. The original group consisted of Najma Thabsheera and Shafeena Kannur. It functioned as the student wing of Indian Union Muslim League. While Shafeena Kannur was the President, HARITHA took a leading role in the Justice for women, Women empowerment and opposition campaign against the communist state government.
