Ageism is Canada's most tolerated social prejudice. The Revera Report on Ageism shows 42% of Canadians see it as widely accepted—double the rates of racism or sexism. 🚫 Systemic age bias is a human rights violation that must stop. #EndAgeism #HumanRights

@IE_OlderPersons Lately Ageism is hidden deep in algorithms.

[Claudia Mahler, Dr. @DrClaudiaMahler]

Still relevant: report on human rights of older women
A lifetime of inequality compounds in older age - through lower pensions, unpaid care work, and discrimination. Policies still fail to address this intersection of age and gender. Yet, the relevance was shown again at #CSW70.
