@UNECE 📺 LIVE NOW: Commemoration of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (#WEAAD)
Susan Somers from @INPEANetwork explains the history of #WEAAD and the continued need to bring attention to the abuse of older people as a serious problem.
#WEAAD2022 #MIPAA20Rome
@UNECE @INPEANetwork Amal Abou Rafeh (@UNDESASocial / @UN4Ageing) is now speaking on #WEAAD.
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.
We are now hearing from @etiennekrug (via video recording) on @WHO's plans to step up action to address the abuse of older people.
He also announces a new @UNDecadeAgeing publication on 5 priorities to tackle the problem.

#WEAAD #WEAAD2022
@etiennekrug @WHO @HelpAge @IE_OlderPersons has now taken the floor to remind all of us that to address the abuse of older people, we need to recognise the problem as a violation of human rights – including through the lens of #ageism.
