It calls for research on widowhood to be scaled up substantially to provide a better understanding of the challenges faced and support required by widowed women. \u201cAchieving significant improvement in their lives will require a methodical, evidence-based approach to policy formulation,\u201d it concludes.<\/p><p>Launching the study at the House of Lords at an event attended by Development Minister Anneliese Dodds and the High Commissioners, Ambassadors and senior diplomats of the countries covered by the study, Lord Raj Loomba said:<\/p><p><em>\u201c<\/em>The plain fact is that eradicating the scourge of discrimination requires detailed knowledge of what is happening, so that governments can deliver effective support, and so that the ignorance which feeds discrimination can be countered, to start changing the cultural attitudes that are so deeply rooted in many communities.<\/p><p>\u201cOur own efforts, and those of the many other organisations listed in the report, can and do transform the lives of widows and their families. But looking at the scale of the challenge, we can only scratch the surface.<br \/><strong>\u00a0<br \/><\/strong>\u201cIt is time to tackle the sin of omission head on \u2013 to work with Governments and others to develop a structured programme of research to support our determined efforts to move the dial for widows.<\/p><p>This important new study adds significantly to the case for doing so.\u201d<\/p><p>For more information please contact<br \/><b>Safdar Shah<br \/>Executive Assistant to Lord Loomba<br \/>E:safdar@loomba.map.studio<br \/>M: 07946 581435<\/b><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\r\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-733f372 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"733f372\" data-element_type=\"container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-4f87b45 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"4f87b45\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\r\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\r\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><b>Information for editors<\/b><\/p>\n<p>Lord Raj Loomba CBE is a Crossbench Peer in the House of Lords and Chairman Trustee of The Loomba Foundation, a UN-accredited specialist NGO established to alleviate the plight of widows and their dependents worldwide and to eradicate discrimination and injustice against widows.<\/p>\n<p>The Loomba Foundation was established in 1997. In 2005 Lord Loomba proposed International Widows Day as a global day of action to eradicate injustice and discrimination against widows. In December 2010, after a five-year campaign, the proposal was adopted unanimously by the United Nations General Assembly and since then International Widows Day has focused worldwide attention on the cause each year on 23 June. In 2016 The Loomba Foundation published the World Widows Report \u2013 the first comprehensive global study with country by country information about the plight of widows, one of the most marginalised and unfairly disadvantaged groups of humanity.<\/p>\n<p>Lord Loomba is Vice-Chair of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on the UN Global Goals for Sustainable Development and Vice-President of
