@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.

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.

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