We are living longer than ever before. This is partly because of hard work to uphold the #UDHR.

@dienekeita (@UNFPA) provides a strong message: we must do for older people now what we want for ourselves when we are older.
#MIPAA, #MIPAA20Rome, and the @UNDecadeAgeing all show there is political will to improve the lives of older people. That will must be backed by action.

The international day became a UN day 11 years ago, yet the abuse of older people remains a hidden problem.
This is an issue about equality - and States play a key role in protecting everyone's rights.

Hoy, 15 de junio, es el Día Mundial de la Toma de Conciencia del Abuso y Maltrato en la Vejez y queremos recordar que este tipo de comportamientos sigue existiendo en la actualidad🙅#Díacontraelabusoenlavejez #StopEdadismo
Maltrato no solo es la agresión física o verbal. Maltrato es impedir la inclusión de las personas mayores en la sociedad o no reconocer sus derechos. Más ejemplos y cómo eliminar el #edadismo en este texto: solidaridadintergeneracional.es/wp/ser-mayor-e…
Como dice Daniel Rueda Estrada en un artículo dedicado a este tema: “Los datos existen, pero lo que importa son las personas y los valores de una sociedad que desprotege al frágil". Puede leer su texto completo en este enlace: blogs.uoc.edu/cienciasdelasa…
🔴 Las organizaciones que formamos la Mesa Estatal por los Derechos de las #PersonasMayores queremos que #NUNCAMÁS se repita la discriminación, abuso, abandono y maltrato que han vivido las personas mayores durante la pandemia.
📝Por ello, con motivo del Día Mundial de Toma de Conciencia del #AbusoyMaltratoenlaVejez publicamos un manifiesto y hacemos una serie de propuestas para que todas las personas puedan disfrutar de sus derechos humanos y de una vida digna.
Estas son nuestras propuestas 👇
