Unwed Mothers Initiative for Archiving and Advocacy

Introduction

UMI4AA is a non-profit organization founded in 2024 by a group of like-minded individuals to combine scholarship and advocacy.
We aim to challenge the perception of ‘unwed mothers’ as mere welfare recipients by examining historical references, literature, and their experiences through a human rights lens.
Our goal is to uncover how social stigma has been constructed, transformed, and politicized, and to generate new discourse and knowledge on unwed mothers.
