Mary Robinson, United Nations High Commissioner for Human
Rights, supporting our conference in 2001
....All human rights programmes with a gender component should include an assessment of the situation of widows and their access to economic and social rights. My office is aware of the need for legal redress for rights violated during conflict situations, and for all women to have access to land, property, pensions and health insurance. Widows belong to all ages. They may be elderly women, but many are young mothers and there are also child widows… The stigma of widowhood can affect not only widows but also their children.
