At ENF, one of our objectives is echoing awareness and encouraging health improvements among the aged population incl fighting eye diseases which are common.
As the world’s population grows older and more urban, cities must decide how to adapt. Ageing populations need to be part of the debate about urban development.
Raising our voice against the criminal injustice faced by the elderly is what required on World elder Abuse Awareness Day.
We look forward to potential shared opportunities & partnerships @UN4Ageing@HelpAge @IE_OlderPersons @FriendsElderly#WEAAD2022
Today is the #WEAAD! All forms of violence, abuse and neglect against #olderwomen must be ended and the gaps in the current #humanrights framework must be closed to provide better protection.
Ahead of World #ElderAbuse Awareness Day, @IE_OlderPersons & other UN experts urge States to end all forms of abuse and violence against older 🚺women, promote their human rights and act against pervasive sexist and #ageist attitudes. #WEAAD2022 👉 ow.ly/6w7V50Jx6La
#WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay, 15 June – highlights the significance of elder abuse as a health and human rights issue. With a growing global population of elderly people, abuse of the elderly is a serious problem. 1 in 6 people aged over 60 suffers from abuse #WEAAD2022
In extreme cases, in many communities, older women can be accused of 'witchcraft' in an attempt to steal land and money from widows. Once accused of witchcraft, a woman may be threatened, beaten, and killed. @KNdieli@unwomenuganda@UN_Women@HelpAge#OlderWomen#ElderlyNetwork
It’s often assumed that gender-based violence is something only younger women experience. However,@NetworkElderly we know that #olderwomen are subject to all types of violence, abuse and neglect. Psychological abuse,financial abuse, neglect,sexual violence&physical violence.

Whatever our work history, gender, disability or position in society, we all need a reliable, adequate income as we get older. With a secure income, we can contribute to our communities and have a good quality of life. @GovUganda@Parliament_Ug@Moglsd_UG
