 A group in Ibadan has called on the government of all levels to put in place proper legislation to protect the interests of widows, and widows who are, according to them, being subjected to cultural injustice, decent many more, where they focus on a day workshop to honour the travels of vulnerable women in the society. Speaking at the event, organisers and women-right activists Emiola Fakola, Fakola Day demanded an end to what she'd termed stigmatisation of windows, while also calling on government to provide support programmes for them that would protect their interests and welfare. Speaking about the issues and travel, experience as widows and widows, this is what they had to say. I hope that the new president will stand up and do what is needful. Not only for widows, there are other segments of the federation that need help. We are not beggars. Widows are not beggars. You know, if somebody comes to you, to your government and says, well, we need something, can you give us something to share to all those people who don't have, of course they should be able to answer and give them some, no matter how little. There are laws in place and we are grateful. They give them foodstuffs and we are so grateful. But we also want to get that bridge between the laws and the practicalities. Sometimes they go to police stations, like we were told, and the policemen will tell them that it's a family matter that they should go back. So we just need the government to be more involved, make groups, support groups with the widows and attend those groups and just make sure that they are okay. Their mental health should be a priority as well. I think in the budget of the state and the nation, they should consider the widows in their budget and also roll out programs for the widows and their children. But the government should roll out programs and then let these programs be on air so that they will know. But some of these programs are there but the public are not aware.
