This event organised by INPEA AND UNDESA will be held in honour of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD).
This virtual event, held in observance of WEAAD 2025, will focus on the abuse of older adults in long-term care facilities. Whereas most older people live in the community, institutional care is a reality for many. As the need for institutional care grows with global aging, so do concerns about safeguarding the rights, safety, and dignity of residents is of outmost importance.
