International Widow's Day commemorates the plight of widows and children amidst poverty and injustice across the world. Recognized by the United Nations in 2010, International Widow's Day often includes awareness campaigns against ostracism, discrimination, and violence against widows and their children.
The Loomba Foundation was the first organization to establish International Widow's Day in 2005. This day is significant to the organization's founder because June 23, 1954, was when Shrimati Pushpa Wati Loomba, the mother of Raj Loomba, became a widow.
Widows suffer discrimination in many cultures, yet their plight is rarely recognized. The foundation wants to shed light on this situation. On June 22, 2010, the organization submitted a proposal to the UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-Moon. He ratified it, and June 23 became International Widow's Day by UN Resolution 65/189.
