 For losing your partner can never be an easy thing for anyone, but for a woman, the hardships that come with it can be traumatic. International Widows Day is commemorated by the United Nations to create awareness about the situation of widows across many parts of the world. According to the United Nations estimate, there are around 258 million widows around the world and nearly one in every 10 widows lives in extreme poverty. The COVID-19 pandemic has also added to this problem in many parts as people lose their partners to this deadly virus. The theme for this year's International Widows Day is invincible women, invincible problems. The theme tends to highlight the fact that for many societies a woman's identity is attached to her partner and after his death the problems faced by her are ignored by policy makers who do not give any special attention to the widows.
