According to findings % 88,4 of women were married but their husbands passed away and. % 64,3 of women live alone more than ten years. Women stated that major causes of not to remarry are motherhood position and care giving roles. They live in under absolute poverty line, couldn’t access basic rights (adequate food, housing, health, adequate income), feel loneliness and insafety. They prefer to live in their houses.
