Older people must be included as active participants in the co-creation and design of health and care services that aim to support them, wrote our colleague @Ilenia_AGE

There's no other way if we want health and care to reflect our human rights standards.

Addressing the gender pay gap would help tackle the gender pension gap @ReneeLaiv @OWNEurope at #OEWG11. A #UNConvention would prevent gender discrimination and women’s higher risk of poverty and dependency in old age.

Older women have been particularly affected in pandemic and denied access to hospital and palliative care. A #UNConvention will ensure that age discrimination is prohibited in the law @OWN_Europe #AgeWithRights #LessTalkingMoreDrafting #OEWG11

Build stronger national legal frameworks to protect the HRs of older women and men as called for by @antonioguterres and ask for a UN instrument on the HR of older persons at the next meeting of the OEWG on Ageing” urged Elizabeth Sclater SG @OWN_Europe at @UN_CSW #CSW65 today

[Older Women Network Europe @OWN_Europe]

« Urgent to improve data collection about older women and to remove all age caps including in intimate partner violence, so that a full picture across all ages is gained, followed by effective responses” said Elizabeth Sclater, SG @OWN_Europe today @UN_CSW #CSW65

It is essential that the voice of older women is heard in the ongoing debates on how to rebuild better post-COVID-19
societies stresses @OWN_Europe. Older women are amongst those most affected by the pandemic. Yet they seldom have a say in policies that concern them most!
