SUMMARY:Human Rights in older age: Towards the elimination of ageism and age discrimination
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special side event of the 48th session of the Human Rights Council on Tuesday 21 September 14:00 Geneva time. \nAgeism is a global phenomenon\, which has serious consequences for individuals and society at large. According to the UN Global Report on Ageism\, half of the world’s population is ageist against older persons. The COVID-19 pandemic brought to light entrenched ageism and age discrimination in many areas including hate speech in public discourse and on social media. Despite its scale and harmful impacts\, ageism remains largely unknown and is often considered more acceptable compared to other forms of discrimination. \nThe report of the UN Independent Expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons to the 48th session of the HRC (A/HRC/48/53)\, examines ageism and age discrimination\, analyses their possible causes and manifestations\, and reviews the way the existing legal and policy frameworks at the international and regional levels protects older persons against ageism and age-discrimination. \nThis side event of the 48th session will bring to the fore real-life experiences of ageism and age discrimination faced by older persons and will take stock of the Independent Expert’s conclusions and recommendations with the aim to discuss strategies to address and prevent ageism and age discrimination and to ensure the promotion and protection of the rights of older persons. \nRegister here: hrworg.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_wOy7GGkqQgaaACt38yJb9Q \nEvent will also be webcast live on https://media.un.org/en/webtv/ \n____________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: For more information on the NGO Committee on Ageing-NY\, please visit ngocoa-ny.org.
