World Elder Abuse Awareness Day: Hope Springs Eternal

6/1/2020

0 Comments

 
What began as a small gathering at the United Nations in 2006 has evolved into a multicultural, multilingual movement redefining the meaning of collective power for a world audience. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) has helped people understand what elder abuse is, acknowledge the importance of human and civil rights, and recognize the need for research, education, advocacy, and policy development. ​WEAAD brings together individuals, communities and organizations to raise awareness and to honour, respect, and celebrate the strength and resilience of older people. Now, on its 15th anniversary, WEAAD continues to provide a platform for voices to be heard, listened to and acted on. ​
WEAAD is dedicated to older people who have charted paths, built communities, contributed to society and to all generations. ​The pandemic may have changed the world, but people still have the power to cope with adversity and to emerge stronger, more resilient, more thoughtful and giving.
