@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.

Download the new publication 👉 bit.ly/AbuseOfOlderPe…
@etiennekrug @WHO A video on @HelpAge's new campaign calling on everyone to pledge to #RefuseToAbuse is now on screen.

Find out more about the campaign here and get involved: helpage.org/what-we-do/wil…

#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.

Today is the @UN International Day of Older Persons! #UNIDOP

This year's theme is about the human rights that belong to all of us, no matter what our age.

How do we ensure all older people – now & in the future – can live with meaning & dignity?

Let's unpack it together 🧵⬇️ An older woman and a younger girl doing a jigsaw puzzle together on a table.

Presented with the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing logo in he background.
@UN @UN4Ageing @UNDESA @UNDESASocial @UNHumanRights @IE_OlderPersons @UNGeneva @UNFPA @NgoAgeing @UNandAgeing 1/ The Universal Declaration of Human Rights (#UDHR) is turning 75.

It's a landmark document that sets out our fundamental rights – and a promise to protect them.

But if we were the same age as the UDHR, many of us wouldn't be enjoying the rights it defines.

2/ Most of us can expect to live into older age. Something to celebrate!

But we don't all have access to the environments needed to maximise our extra years. 🎥 ⬇️

Protecting our rights helps us build these environments for current & future generations of older people.

1/ Today, we're thinking about data for #HealthyAgeing 💭

In New York, Member States are gathering for the @UN Statistical Commission to discuss all things data.

The @UNDecadeAgeing calls for strengthening data to accelerate its implementation. But what does this mean?

2/ To implement initiatives & policies that are effective in fostering #HealthyAgeing, we need a fuller understanding of older people's needs & contexts.

One important way to develop this understanding is by collecting meaningful & representative data about older people. 📈 An older woman standing in an alleyway, smiling at the camer
3/ For example, inequities faced by older people will remain invisible if data on them are not collected.

We also can't challenge ageist assumptions of older age as inevitable decline if data on older people's contributions to society are limited.

It's #HumanRightsDay & the 75th birthday of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. #UDHR75

@UNHumanRights @UN_HRC @UN4Ageing @WHO @UNDESA @UNDESASocial @UNGeneva @UN @UNFPA @IE_OlderPersons 2/ Reminder: #ageing is something to celebrate!

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

But longer lives are not yet healthier lives for all. Our work to protect human rights needs to respond to a rapidly changing world.
3/ The #UDHR's Preamble starts by highlighting the 'equal & inalienable rights of all members of the human family'.

These human rights are 'fundamental' & must be universally recognised & observed.

⚠️ This commitment has no age limits!

We’re back from the last day of the @UNECE Ministerial Conference on #Ageing, starting with the Opening of the Ministerial Segment!

✅ Follow this thread for key highlights throughout the day

✅ Or join the livestream: mipaa20rome.it/live-streaming

#AddingLifeToYears #MIPAA20Rome
Ministers from the host of #MIPAA20Rome, Italy, are now speaking on the challenges but also the opportunities of population ageing.

We are on average living longer than ever before. The @UNDecadeAgeing is our opportunity to live these extra years with health & well-being.
@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.
