IFA Virtual Town Hall on COVID-19 & Older People: Demographic Resilience in Times of Crisis
25 September 2020 @ 7:00 AM - 8:30 AM EDT
FreeIFA Virtual Town Hall | COVID-19 and Older People: Demographic Resilience in Times of Crisis
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly demonstrated that combating age-based discrimination requires a shift in the narrative on the human rights of older persons and healthy ageing. Throughout the last several months of unprecedented hardships there have been extraordinary instances of resilience, perseverance and support among individuals and organizations working for and alongside older people. In the upcoming IFA Town Hall, the United Nations Populations Fund in Eastern Europe and Central Asia (UNFPA EECA) explores opportunities to shift the narrative by highlighting collaborative initiatives to mitigate risks for older people during the ongoing pandemic, and promote health and social programs in the context of demographic shifts which are built upon participatory and enabling environments for older people.
This town hall takes place at 07:00 am (Eastern Daylight Time) on Friday 25 September 2020 (additional time zones below):
Sao Paulo, Brazil: 08:00
