February 2006 - U.S. Federation for Middle East (“UFMEP”) hosted an event titled “Widows in Islam” as part of the 50th session of the Commission on the Status of Women (“CSW”). UFMEP President, Mrs. Salwa Kader, moderated the event discussion. The panel focused on the variety of adversities widows face in Muslim countries and further explored their rights under Islamic jurisprudence.
