Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -The Loomba Foundation established International Widows Day in 2005. They chose the date June 23rd, as it was the date that the mother of the foundation’s founder, Lord Loomba, became a widow. In December 2010, the UN General Assembly formally adopted June 23rd as International Widows’ Day.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 2022, the theme for the International Widows’ Day is “Invisible Women, Invisible Problems”. The theme is an attempt to showcase how the identity of a woman in a society is attached to her partner and after his death, the problems faced by the widow are ignored by policymakers.
Detailed explanation-3: -This year’s theme is - “Sustainable Solutions for Widows Financial Independence”.
