Jaipur is one of the Holiest city in India Wgere Hindus believe that if they die in this city then they will go straight to Nirvana (heaven), which is one of the reasons why so many widows stay here.
For these reasons the city is crowded with widows living on the streets and having no one to care for them—an estimated 20,000 of them. Many survive by begging or by prostitution. Some have even lost their sanity by living in these desperate conditions.
I want to support them financially so that they can start with some small business like stiching , teaching etc...
The International Women's Day was just a routine day. Neither any Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO) working for women's rights nor any government official approached her on this special day.
However, the case of Moti and her colleagues has definitely raised questions over the functioning of the NGOs. Verma, a betel shop owner said, "Nobody is interested in helping out the needy." Local organizations flooded the city with posters and banners on the International Women's Day, but they did not initiate any steps to provide justice to these forgotten widows.
Thanks In Advance....
