WRI Fighting Fund Partners

Ashish

Is a small group of women who support widows to claim their legal rights in Hyderabad / Secunderabad and try to provide them with a means of livelihood in an environment which is very hostile to women who live on their own.

Astha

WRI's partner in Rajasthan, India, the Association of Strong Women who Stand Alone (Ekal Nari Shakti Sangatham) undertakes litigation and has over 20,000 rural members, many of whom are widows, others are divorced, abandoned or separated women.

WiDO

In Enugu State, Nigeria has set up a project which sends its vanguard team to villages to negotiate with a widow’s husband’s kin as to her rights to home, children and livelihood. They are greatly aided in this by the existence of a bill prohibiting discrimination against widows and widowers.

WOP (Uganda)

Woman of Purpose (WOP), WRI's partner organisation in Uganda works at the grassroots level to change deep-rooted harmful cultural practices.  One of their projects which we support is in Malisa District where the organisation provides education and community-based initiatives to transform - highly patriarchal - customs and culture which harm widows and their children.
