We've had enough injustices committed against #OlderPeople with impunity. #Ageism affects us on a daily basis, including during the #pandemic, when many older people were denied essential care & died. 🖋 Sign the petition to #AgeWithRights: bit.ly/3QRuZ1m

New: euronews reports on #DisabilityRights advocatesconcerns with proposed EU law on "protection of adults". Marine Uldry (she/her): "“We need to change how we view protection. It’s not about the 'protection of people' but the protection of their rights,”" Read: euronews.com/my-europe/2024…

At a time when the EU must step up action to promote #equality, it is instead downgrading its work, failing to appoint a dedicated Commissioner. This must change!

📣We're one of 50 NGOs calling on European Commission to prioritise #Equality. The EU must step up - not scale down - for a ‘Union of Equality’ and reinstate a standalone Commissioner on Equality! 📖 Read our open letter and spread the message: bit.ly/3XDyV8R

So honored to have been part of the first international congress on older LGBTI+ hosted by AGE Platform Europe member Fundación 26 de Diciembre. I learned so much and left inspired to do more for equality at the intersection of LGBTI+ and age.
