AS the world observes International Widows Day on June 23, Widows Support TT is renewing its call for a national policy to be put in place to support widows and their families.

In a statement sent to Newsday on June 22, the group said the 2025 theme was Orphans in need: Shining a spotlight on the often-overlooked children left behind after the loss of a parent.

The group said it recognised the struggles and resilience of widows, who faced social, economic and emotional challenges.
