@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.

⚡️ 75th World Health Assembly Highlights: Noncommunicable Diseases (#NCDs) & #HealthyAgeing

The control & prevention of NCDs like stroke, cancers & diabetes form a significant part of #WHA75's agenda. What's their relevance to @UNDecadeAgeing? (thread) 🧵⬇️

#AddingLifeToYears Image
People around the 🌏 are living longer than ever before. This is good news: we now have an opportunity to be & do what we value for longer.

But our societies & environments still require significant transformations to help us maximise this opportunity. 👉 who.int/health-topics/…
Although we are living longer, our extra years are not necessarily being lived in good health.

In part, this is because the negative effects of living in unsupportive, unhealthy environments accumulate over time & often manifest in later life.
