Every year, on June 15th, we all join forces to remind the world that older people are rights holders, who deserve to live free from ageism, abuse and neglect.
Like previous years, CNPEA, EAPO, CanAge and many provincial partners, are inviting Canadians of all ages to become a champion of elder abuse prevention and to stand up for the rights of older people. This year, we challenge you all to age with attitude!
Join us on June 11th for a lively, interactive panel discussion with speakers who are engaged in changing the way we think about aging and treat older people, promoting the rights of older persons in their own way. They will share their knowledge and initiatives to address ageism and discuss different approaches to help build more inclusive, safer communities for all ages. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with the speakers through a moderated Q & A period.
By shedding light on these important issues, we hope to foster a greater awareness of the challenges faced by older Canadians and the need for further action to counteract ageism, support elder abuse prevention, and foster respect, and safety and restore the rights of older persons.
Ending ageism and elder abuse begins with acknowledging seniors have the right to live with dignity and respect. Change can happen if citizens, advocates, professionals and leaders in communities and governments work on a shared vision to prevent violence and abuse of older people in their homes and communities.
