A compass gives direction. A #UNConvention on the rights of older persons would do the same. Back at #HRC58, the Human Rights Council took a historic step by establishing the Intergovernmental Working Group to draft this Convention.

Lasting change needs strong roots. A #UNConvention on the rights of older persons would create those roots... (1/2)

It was a pleasure to be a panelist at today's PGA High-level meeting on ageing. It was the link between the former OEWG-A in NY and the new established intergovernmental wg in Geneva at the HRC.

Enviamos un afectuoso saludo a todos los trabajadores en su día, especialmente a las personas mayores que se mantienen laboralmente activos. Muchas de estas personas laboran en condiciones desfavorables, ellos merecen un trato laboral justo, los derechos laborales no envejecen. Según nuestra encuesta de condiciones de vida de las personas mayores, 47% de 1804 personas entrevistadas, manifestaron estar trabajando, la mayoría de ellas en la informalidad. #DiaDelTrabajador #MayoresDerechos

Ageism is everywhere, widespread and harmful. To know if we’re making progress in creating #AWorld4AllAges, we need a reliable tool to measure ageism.
But we didn’t have that tool… Until now.
