WIDOWS FOR PEACE THROUGH DEMOCRACY

WPD holds regular meetings on widowhood issues at the UN Commission on the Status of Women. As the umbrella organisation for widows NGOs in conflict afflicted countries, it gathers data on the plight of widows; acts as the international focal point for regional widows' groups such as SANWED, and raises awareness on this topic with UK/EU and the UN. It also works with CEDAW.
