War Widows Project host the 'The Plight of Widows' event on Sunday 24th June in recognition of International Widows Day which falls on the 23rd June each year.

There are an estimated 245 million widows worldwide, with almost 50% living in poverty and suffering from social stigmatisation and economic depravation. In many communities around the world, widows are one of the most marginalised groups.

We are hosting this event to highlight the plight of widows around the world with a focus on the War Widows Illangai and other ethnic groups around the world. The event will also provide a space for invitees to network over tea and coffee and share ideas.

Come along to learn more and stand in solidarity with this marginalised group in many societies around the world.

RSVP by the Friday 22nd June
