It was established as a national-level organization to address the specific concerns of Muslim women, focusing on social welfare, education, and empowerment. Sir Mohammad Shafi played a key role in its initiation in Lahore to provide a platform for Muslim women to voice their concerns and advocate for their rights. The organization was instrumental in promoting female education and improving healthcare facilities for women during the early 20th century.

It remained a significant socio-political body for Muslim women's upliftment in colonial India.
