International Widows Day was established by The Loomba Foundation to raise awareness of the issue of widowhood. The significance of 23 June is that it was on that day in 1954 that Shrimati Pushpa Wati Loomba, mother of the foundation's founder, Lord Loomba, became a widow.〔(Shrimati Pushpa Wati Loomba profile ), bbc.co.uk; accessed 31 May 2015.〕 One of the foundation’s key goals is to highlight what it describes as an invisible calamity. A 2010 book, ''Invisible, Forgotten Sufferers: The Plight of Widows Around the World'', estimates that there are 245 million widows worldwide, 115 million of whom live in poverty and suffer from social stigmatization and economic deprivation purely because they have lost their husbands.〔(''Invisible, Forgotten Sufferers: The Plight of Widows Around the World'' infp ), dnaindia.com; accessed 31 May 2015.〕 As part of the Loomba Foundation’s awareness campaign, this study was presented to UN Secretary General Ban Ki-moon on 22 June 2010.〔(115 million widows live in poverty - Loomba Foundation ), hindustantimes.com; accessed 31 May 2015.〕 The first International Widows Day took place in 2005 and was launched by Lord Loomba and the foundation's president, Cherie Blair.〔(first International Widows Day (2005) ), bbc.co.uk; accessed 31 May 2015.〕 By the sixth International Widows Day in 2010, events were held in Rwanda, Sri Lanka, the USA, the UK, Nepal, Syria, Kenya, India, Bangladesh and South Africa.〔(Loomba Foundation website ), theloombafoundation.org; accessed 31 May 2015.〕 ==United Nations recognition== On 21 December 2010, the United Nations General Assembly formally adopted 23 June as International Widows Day, endorsing by unanimous acclaim a proposal introduced by President Ali Bongo Ondimba of Gabon.〔(UN General Assembly adoption of International Widows Day ), articles.timesofindia.indiatimes.com; accessed 31 May 2015.〕 As well as formally recognizing 23 June as a day of observance, the accompanying resolution called upon "Member States, the United Nations system and other international and regional organizations to give special attention to the situation of widows and their children."〔(UN General Assembly adoption of International Widows Day ), un.org; accessed 31 May 2015.〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「International Widows Day」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
