Traditional practices for widows vary from one culture to another. Widows in some cultures are expected to shave their heads and should not go out for a specified number of days. Sometimes, a widow may be suspected to have killed her husband and she's required to bathe in her husband's grave.

A lot of widows have suffered from discrimination, harmful cultural and traditional practices, and violence. Many Cultural practices violate the rights of Widows.

However, Widows have the right to be free from Violence, harassment, and discrimination. Widows must also be given equal opportunities in the workforce, eliminating Discrimination based on their marital status.

At the Widows Rejoice Mission, We let the world know about the plight of many widows by creating awareness of many of these practices that violate the Rights of Widows.

We also create awareness about the constitution of the Federal Republic of Nigeria which made it clear that nobody has the right to maltreat widows or subject them to harmful traditional practices such as forcing them to shave their heads or locking them up in a room with the corpse of their husband and other harmful practices.

We also collaborated with a human rights organization in Lagos, Nigeria; the Project Alert, in Lagos Nigeria to bring about the message of hope to Widows about their Human Rights.
Our WIDOWS RIGHT ADVOCACY PROGRAM provides a platform to advocate for the rights of Widows in Nigeria.
