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?"-- youtube.com/watch?v=3nrF5O…

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 World Health Organization (WHO) explores some of the reasons: decadeofhealthyageing.org/find-knowledge… (1/12) 🧵⬇️

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?

The title of the The Associated Press 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 The Associated Press for being vigilant and bringing attention to the matter Claudia Mahler - UN Independent Expert Global Alliance UN For Ageing AARP International

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. Global Alliance Human Rights Watch
