Dispossed widows who's husbands fall victim to AIDS have their property seized by family members of the husband who claim rights to the property, regardless of her personal claims to the property. With little knowledge of legal rights, or the ability to pay legal fees, widows are left homeless. Famine, malnutrition, and disease gives widows and Malawi a "bleak" outlook.
