On World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2022, the World Health Organization (WHO) together with the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), UN Department of Economic and Social Affairs (UN DESA), UNFPA, and UN Women with the support of the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) published 'Tackling abuse of older people: Five priorities for the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030)'.
In this online webinar, the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing Secretariat together with OHCHR, UN DESA, WHO, and INPEA marked the 2024 edition of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day by revisiting the five priorities that were outlined in this brief. Together with a multi-stakeholder expert panel, the event explored progress that has been made to advance on these priorities over the last two years.
The event also marked the publication of an online interactive database of 'promising interventions' to reduce and address the abuse of older people, which is the first product of the UN Decade of Healthy Ageing's intervention accelerator to prevent abuse of older people project.
