The #WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay (#WEAAD) happens each year on June 15th.

It was officially recognized by the #UnitedNations #GeneralAssembly in its resolution 66/127,December 2011, following a request by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (#INPEA), who first established the commemoration in June 2006.

It #represents the one day in the year when the whole world #voices its #opposition to the #abuse and suffering inflicted to some of our #older #generations. 

Addressing Elder Abuse

#Elderabuse can be defined as “a single, or repeated act, or lack of appropriate action, occurring within any relationship where there is an expectation of trust which causes #harm or #distress to an older person”. It is a global #social issue which affects the #Health and #HumanRights of millions of older persons around the world, and an issue which deserves the #attention of the international #community.
