This week for the #AgeWithRights Global Rally, many older people world-wide are on the streets demanding a new UN convention to strengthen the protection of their rights. Please continue to recognise older people @antonioguterres and help to amplify their voices too! #OEWG13 2/2

Deep-rooted ageism stops us from seeing violations of older people’s rights for what they are. As a result, states fail to adequately protect those rights in laws, policies and practice.
Older people are calling for an end to ageism so we can all #AgeWithRights. @GAROP_Sec @hrw

[AGENIGERIAFOUNDATION @agenigeriafound]

This happens as we speak.Older women lynched as witches just because they have grown older ⁦@agengocarole⁩ ⁦@HelpAgeAfrica⁩ heart wrenching presentation #UNIDOP advocates of protection of older persons rights have a duty to highlight what abuses older women face.

[erica dhar @ericadhar]

The title of the @AP article says it all. Not just @UNGA but consistently older persons and their issues left out in UN discussions. Heavy focus on youth. Thank you to @AP for being vigilant and bringing attention to the matter @IE_OlderPersons @GAROP_Sec @UN4Ageing @AARPIntl

A new law just came into effect in Spain to protect equal treatment and non-discrimination, including on the basis of age❗️ What is your country doing to address ageism and build #AWorld4AllAges?

[UN Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030) @UNDecadeAgeing]

No one should be abused.

Yet every year, 1️⃣ in 6️⃣ older people experience abuse in the community, globally.

So why is addressing the #AbuseOfOlderPeople still a low global priority?

💡 New research from @WHO explores some of the reasons: https://t.co/ICFNqiZrCg

📢#COVID recovery MUST include addressing & cancelling debt.

Instead of channelling resources to pursue #SDGs, low-income countries are drowning to pay back debt.

Older people in #Lebanon deserve to live in dignity. It’s time for an inclusive #pension system.

Our new report, in partnership with @ilo, shares the experiences of #OlderPeople & the difficulties they face living without #SocialProtection:

@UNFPA Are those services also available for older women? SRHR go beyond reproductive age !!

@UNFPA @UNYouthEnvoy I was young once and said the same thing, especially as a woman. Now I am 81 and still want to be heard. EVERYONE has the right to be heard.

[Ashton Applewhite @thischairrocks]

Everyone is aging, and yet #ageism is the most widespread form of discrimination. @Ageing_Better aims to change that. Check out their brand new short film, "What is Ageism?"--

@k8_lister And how many men against RvW are willing to provide child support? And what are Republicans doing to end child poverty. You bunch of hypocrites!
