👏Major step forward for the rights of #OlderPersons! We welcome the consensus adoption of #HRC58 resolution establishing an intergovernmental working group to draft a legally binding treaty on the #HumanRights of older persons. #NHRIs explicitly invited to engage in the process!

We did it! Had an amazing few weeks in Geneva coordinating Global Alliance advocacy at the UN Human Rights Council. Incredible to see such strong cross-regional support from govts to start work on an international treaty on older persons' rights! Proud to work with such an inspiring global team 🌍❤️

Today on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day #WEAAD2025, we stand in solidarity with our members world-wide who are raising awareness and tackling this issue. A new UN convention on the rights of older persons must fully address elder abuse so we can all #AgeWithRights.

In #Pakistan, climate disasters are exposing deadly gaps in healthcare & disaster response, especially for children and older people. A new Amnesty International report shows how extreme weather is deepening inequality and endangering health, safety, and dignity. ow.ly/uhcX50Wchzk
