@UNECE @INPEANetwork Amal Abou Rafeh (@UNDESASocial / @UN4Ageing) is now speaking on #WEAAD.
The international day became a UN day 11 years ago, yet the abuse of older people remains a hidden problem.
This is an issue about equality - and States play a key role in protecting everyone's rights.

Hoy, 15 de junio, es el Día Mundial de la Toma de Conciencia del Abuso y Maltrato en la Vejez y queremos recordar que este tipo de comportamientos sigue existiendo en la actualidad🙅#Díacontraelabusoenlavejez #StopEdadismo
Maltrato no solo es la agresión física o verbal. Maltrato es impedir la inclusión de las personas mayores en la sociedad o no reconocer sus derechos. Más ejemplos y cómo eliminar el #edadismo en este texto: solidaridadintergeneracional.es/wp/ser-mayor-e…
Como dice Daniel Rueda Estrada en un artículo dedicado a este tema: “Los datos existen, pero lo que importa son las personas y los valores de una sociedad que desprotege al frágil". Puede leer su texto completo en este enlace: blogs.uoc.edu/cienciasdelasa…
🔴 Las organizaciones que formamos la Mesa Estatal por los Derechos de las #PersonasMayores queremos que #NUNCAMÁS se repita la discriminación, abuso, abandono y maltrato que han vivido las personas mayores durante la pandemia.
📝Por ello, con motivo del Día Mundial de Toma de Conciencia del #AbusoyMaltratoenlaVejez publicamos un manifiesto y hacemos una serie de propuestas para que todas las personas puedan disfrutar de sus derechos humanos y de una vida digna.
Estas son nuestras propuestas 👇

1️⃣ Un inmediato traslado a la agenda política, por parte de los diferentes actores sociales con capacidad de intervención, del tema de los abusos y maltrato en la vejez.
Today is #WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay. Throughout the year, the FBI works to #KeepSeniorsSafe and educate people on steps they can take to protect themselves from elder fraud. In 2019, the IC3 received 68,013 complaints of elder fraud with losses of more than $835 million. #WEAAD
#DYK older people often have “nest eggs,” own homes, and have excellent credit—all of which make them attractive to scammers? If you're 60 or older, especially if you're an older woman living alone, scammers might target you. Learn the signs of scams at ow.ly/tYjQ50A8cIW.
Older Americans are less likely to report fraud because they don’t know how to report it, are embarrassed, or don’t know they have been scammed. Don't be ashamed to report elder fraud and file a complaint at ic3.gov. #KeepSeniorsSafe
In the United States, nearly 10% of Americans age 65+ experience elder abuse each year. During World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, DOJ remains committed to protecting our nation’s seniors through our Elder Justice Initiative.

Today is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day #WEAAD2020 #WEAAD. We can all help in raising awareness of this violation of human rights. I have devoted the past few years of PhD to researching #ElderAbuse and I can tell you some things I have learnt: 1/14
Elder abuse is the abuse of older people by those in a position of trust, frequently family members, but also friends, carers, etc. It can be financial, physical, psychological, sexual, or neglect, and frequently older adults experience several of these types. #WEAAD2020 2/14
Elder abuse is not a minor problem. A systematic review and meta-analysis published in 2017 estimated a pooled prevalence rate of 15.7% for adults aged 60 or older living in the community. #WEAAD2020 bit.ly/37r4B6M 3/14
