Widows for Peace through Democracy (WPD)

Working to ensure all widows of all ages enjoy full human rights, prioritising widows in war-torn & poverty stricken regions. UN ECOSOC consultative status.

[Widows for Peace through Democracy (WPD) @widows4peace]

WPD has ECOSOC status but is run by a small team of volunteers, with no main physical office - overheads are low. Every donation has a real impact, helping us advance the #humanrights of #widows of all ages. We prioritise #ConflictWidows.

Congratulations @globalwidows, @Cometogether_Wi @Pastor_Dorcas & all advocates &champions of Widows Rights on your unwavering advocacy.
Look at this , for the first time in history, we have a FULL PARAGRAPH dedicated to WIDOWS in the Commission Status of Women agreed conclusions.

[Cometogether Widows and Orphans Organization @Cometogether_Wi]

Access to Justice ⚖️ & Psychosocial Support are very important to Widowed Person's &Orphans.Loss is painful, confusing & can lead to stress and depression. We MUST organize how our people live after loss of their loved ones. We will help them re-integrate to the society.

[Nyanam Widows Rising @Nyanam_intl]

It saddens 😭😭 to see how we treat widows in our families and communities.

Land disinheritance is one of the biggest dangers and threats to widows lives in most part of the country. We call upon @PSYGKenya to ensure protection of widows right to property and land.

This year, we are launching a climate justice project dubbed Voice to Action funded by @ForumCivHubESA under the recently launched Wajibu Wetu; Jumuika, Sikika! Project

[Nyanam Widows Rising @Nyanam_intl]

Widows’ daughters are at risk of transactional sex, which leads to teen pregnancies,early marriages,and increased HIV among teenage girls.Widows’ sons, because of their family’s financial situation or lack of a father-figure,are at risk to abuse substances and drop out of school.
