In India, the experience of losing one’s spouse is, overwhelmingly, a female experience. Further, the consequences of losing one’s spouse are very different for men and women. Even in the older age groups, only a small minority of men are widowed, while a large majority of women experience that predicament. The main reason for this gender gap in the incidence of widowhood is a much higher rate of remarriage among widowed men, compared with widowed women.
Dream Forever provides financial assistance to the widows along with opportunities of livelihood. Those widows, who have no regular source of income and are living in poor and destitute conditions are selected for assistance.
Deprived of the basic amenities of life, this project will rehabilitate those who are striving for their sustainability and also assist them to lead their lives in a proper way.
The widow crisis affects families in ways that have a direct physical impact on their lives as well as their children. Dream Forever takes the initiative to help them for the following reasons:
Poverty: Many widows come across economic hardship during their life. They are bound to send their children out to work to earn income instead of sending them to school for education. Employment opportunities for windows are very low especially because of the limitations on mobility and gender division of labour. So the widows have to adjust with in-law’s family remaining engaged with-domestic chores and child rearing activities or to live with and adult son.
Employment Restrictions: Widows in general face well known restrictions on employment opportunities, relating, inter alia, to the gender division of labor. Aside from these general restrictions, widows face specific difficulties in seeking gainful employment opportunities. These include: lack of access to indivisible productive assets owned by the deceased husband’s family (e g, wells, ploughs and bullocks); frequent absence of a literate member in the household; limited access to institutional credit; and, particularly in the case of widows with young children, the burden of domestic work.
Social Isolation: The well-being of widows is not just a question of economic security, but also one of dignity, self-respect and participation in society. Many widows suffer from different forms of social isolation, psychological abuse or emotional distress.
