Black silhouettes stand out on every street corner - they are the widows of Iraq. These women, to whom nobody pays the slightest attention, are the living ghosts of a country haunted by war.

The country numbers over one million of these widows, and there are nearly 400,000 of them in Baghdad alone. But in these times of conflict, the widows are seen as burdens for their families-in-law, which, according to tradition, must take them in.
As for the Iraqi government, the widows' situation is not its priority.
