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.

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

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

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

How do we build on its principles to ensure later lives of meaning & dignity? Read on 🧵⬇️ Logo of the 75th anniversar... @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.
