Windows are strong, loving, courageous, and resilient! Unfortunately, losing a husband to a woman also means losing rights and income! On this Widow's Day, Senator @OkenyuriEsther urges us to treat widows with DIGNITY and uphold their rights as equal members of society. https://t.co/XquDLWTlvL

Today is International Widows Day, which highlights the unique, practical & personal challenges women face when our husbands or partners die - and do not vanish with time. NB being widowed is not the same as divorce or relationship breakdown, & 'at least you...' is inappropriate https://t.co/46bItGqvFF
