These are our grandmothers, mothers, wives, sisters, daughters, aunts, nieces, and friends. You love these courageous women, and we love them too.

Widowhood is all around us, yet people know so little about it. Widow awareness and advocacy is in a seed phase. Planted, yet not fully blossomed. In 2022, we started the Movement for Widows Club (MWC) initiative. Hear Modern Widows Club Founder Carolyn Moor as she shares our 2021–22 Community Report and discusses our significant research that drives our programs, initiatives, and solutions for widows around the globe. It takes courage for widows to voice that they can no longer accept what hasn’t worked in the past. It takes courage for widow supporters like you to listen to their stories and join us in creating a new future for the widows of today and tomorrow.
