Today is #InternationalWidowsDay . Widows face many challenges. Some lack space and support to grieve. Some are denied access to their homes & engaged in battles over property, treated like outcasts, etc. Let's be changemakers. Let's be kinder, more loving, vocal, and active 🤍
I’m happy to be a widow. Shooting that son of a bitch was the best thing I ever did. #InternationalWidowsDay
अंतर्राष्ट्रीय विधवा दिवस पर हम संकल्प लें कि विधवाओं के अधिकारों एवं सम्मान के लिए ठोस एवं उचित कदम उठाएंगे।

I never realised that there is an observance day for widowhood.
The United Nations has marked today as #InternationalWidowsDay to bring awareness to the challenges, injustice, stigma & poverty faced by widowhood.

23 June is being observed as International #WidowsDay , to draw attention to the voices & experiences of widows & to galvanize the unique support that they need. The day is an opportunity for action towards achieving full rights & recognition for widows.
Sanam, a 61-year-old widow from Badghis province, cares for her children and grandchildren without resources, rights, or support. TYTW connects with women like Sanam to ensure basic needs are met and girls remain free from forced marriage.

#InternationalWidowsDay
It is very distressing to know that widows and their dependents continue to experience injustice and hardship. Raising awareness and taking action are crucial for empowering and supporting them.
On this #InternationalWidowsDay , let’s pledge to empower widows and their children with the skills and confidence to become economically and socially independent.
On this #InternationalWidowsDay WiDO strongly condemns all forms of violence against widows of all ages. We call for a Special Rapporteur on Widows & commissioning of a global study on the status of widows -their plight , resilience and value in decision making.
