Widows seen as bad omens within Asian communities

Asian women have set up a group to support widows. 'Your Saheli' wants to challenge the stigma and cultural attitudes surrounding widows within the community. Campaigners say some widows are shunned and can face difficulties in rebuilding their lives, even in Britain today. They say while attitudes are slowly changing, many are ostracised from the community.
