  • Widows of war in Kosovo.  After the war, some of villages like Meje have no men left.  Many widows have no means of sustainment.  Ngos assisted the widows in rebuilding their homes.  However, the Ngos support has diminuished to null after they have been moved to  Iraq and Afghanistan.  This decision has left the widows in unfinished homes and no one to turn to for any support.

  • Skenderaj in Kosovo is the most destroyed area from the war. Many of the women live in what once used to be their home, and now are just empty and half destroyed rooms. The war has left women widowed, without means to support themselves and their children and homeless.

  • In the outskirts of Skenderaj, I visited this lady who has 5 children to fend off by herself after her husband was taken away by the serbian army and she has never seen him again. She feels fortunate that she has some land and is able to feed her children in this way.

  • Skenderaj in Kosovo is the most destroyed area from the war. The war started in this region and it ended here. It has had the majority of numbers of civilian killings and some villages like Meje have no men left: there are only widows with their children.<br />
Nowadays, the situation of the widows looks even more perilous after international organisations are slowly moved from the Balkans. Some of the widows live in homes that were slowly being rebuilt with the aid of international aid organizations but now left half built. Many of the widows are still homeless. The luckier ones take shelter with relatives but many live in very devastating conditions: in tiny rooms with a little stove, mattress on the floor to sleep and to sit on.

  • Widows of war receive 60Euros for maintenance. With this meagre income they can hardly make ends meet. If they do have sons, they normally take charge in the upkeeping of the family with their mum.  Ngos like Medicos del Mundo have opened workshops rooms where the widows can engage in creating house wares like cloths, towels, etc. by knitting and sewing. They then sell their products. A woman says that overall there is more conformt in being together than in making an income as generally most women in Kosovo know how to sew or knit.
