Wherever they are, irrespective of their religion and
culture, a common feature of widowhood is the violence
perpetrated against them at the hands of near
relatives and condoned by the inaction of governments.
Many widows are hounded from their homes and denied
access to essential resources such as shelter and land
to grow food. They are also subject to degrading and
life threatening traditional practices. They have no
status and often they are figures of shame and
ridicule. This neglect of millions of widows has
irrevocable long term implications for the future
well-being and sustainable development of all our
societies.
