The zenana missions were outreach programmes established in British India with the aim of converting women to Christianity. From the mid 19th century, they sent female missionaries into the homes of Indian women, including the private areas of houses - known as zenana - that male visitors were not allowed to see. Gradually these missions expanded from purely evangelical work to providing medical and education services. Hospitals and schools established by these missions are still active, making the zenana missions an important part of the history of Christianity in India.

  • Le missioni zenana erano programmi di supporto creati in India britannica allo scopo di portare il Cristianesimo alle donne. Da metà Ottocento, esse inviarono missionarie nelle case di donne indiane, incluse le parti più private dell'abitazione che, ai visitatori di sesso maschile, era proibito vedere (zenana). Gradualmente queste missioni si ampliarono, passando da un'opera puramente evangelizzatrice alla fornitura di servizi medici ed educativi. Ospedali e scuole stabilite da queste missioni sono ancora attivi, facendo delle missioni zenana una parte importante del Cristianesimo in India. (it)
