International Day of Older Persons 1 October

On today’s International Day of Older Persons, we call on policymakers and governments to end violence against elderly women! Elderly people are exposed to neglect, physical, sexual, psychological, and financial abuse. All of these forms of abuse can be perpetrated by spouse/partner, adult children, grandchildren, other relatives or care takers.

We call on policymakers and governments to end elder abuse against women with these policy recommendations.
