SUMMARY:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
DESCRIPTION:This year’s observance of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) at 1:30pm (NYC time) on June 15 coincides with the fourth review of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA) and the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE) Ministerial Conference on Ageing in Rome\, Italy. While there will be an in-person WEAAD observance\, we are pleased to invite everyone to participate virtually. \nDetails and registration here: World Elder Abuse Awareness Day \nIn preparation for the event\, this month the NGO Committee on Ageing-NY participated in the review and appraisal cycle of MIPAA in Rome. A new preamble paragraph has been added to recall the Universal Declaration of Human Rights\, the Convention on the Elimination of all forms of discrimination against women\, and the convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities\, among other treaties and covenants. The fact remains that older persons remain invisible and unprotected. The pandemic’s excessive toll on older persons has documented that human rights of older persons are not being protected. We must continue to advocate for a legally binding document to protect the human rights of all older persons. \nPlease note: The UN International Day of Older Persons (UNIDOP) will be held once again in person at the UN (and live webcast). The exact observance date is pending due to space availability at the UN. The NGO Committee on Ageing-NY is collaborating on the theme with its counterparts in Geneva and Vienna on addressing older women and issues of climate change\, pandemic and other issues\, but from the perspective of the resilience and contributions of older women. Robin Fenley is chairing this year’s observance. \nNote: The new chair of the Vienna Committee on Ageing is Shantu Watt and in Geneva\, the new chair is Kelly Fitzgerald. \n__________________________________________________________________________________________ \nCoNGO Notes: The NGO Committee on Ageing-NY is a Substantive Committee of the Conference of NGOs in Consultative Relationship with the United Nations.
