Born in Punjab, Raj Loomba is a successful British-Indian businessman, who in 1997 decided to dedicate his life to supporting destitute widows. In 25 years the Loomba Foundation's education and empowerment programmes have transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of widows and their dependants - and led the United Nations in 2010 to designate 23 June every year as International Widows Day to drive global action. Now a member of the UK's House of Lords, Loomba continues to champion the cause of the world's poorest and most marginalised people, determined to eradicate the scourge of discrimination once and for all.

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - IT WAS A HAPPY FAMILY. Seven siblings with doting parents in a small town in Punjab where their father ran a thriving general store. Tragedy loomed, however, and their father succumbed to TB. Raj Loomba, aged ten, registered the transformation in his mother's life, widowed at only thirty-seven in the full bloom of life.Many years later, by now a successful businessman in the United Kingdom, Raj remembered that moment after his mother passed away - and in tribute to her, he resolved to focus on the plight of widows. His charity transformed the lives of hundreds of thousands of people, but his ambition was far greater - to eradicate the scourge of widow discrimination altogether. His campaign attracted support from leading figures in governments, business and wider society, and what had seemed an impossible target - the declaration of an International Widows Day by the United Nations - is today a reality.Widow Warrior is an inspiring memoir of an exciting adventure, testament to what belief can achieve against the odds. It shines a light on the hundreds of millions of widowed women worldwide who for so long have suffered in the shadows, bringing hope where for centuries there has been nothing but despair.
