World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2023 : Advocate Siddhant Kumar

As we all know that World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is held on June 15th to raise awareness of elder abuse and prevent it.

With a growing global population of elderly people, and as longevity increases, abuse of the elderly is an increasing and serious problem that affects health and human rights and can cause death, so it is vital to raise awareness of it and thus prevent it whenever and wherever possible.

Elder abuse is global and comes in many forms including physical, emotional, sexual and financial abuse. Elderly people are human and deserve the same dignity and respect as people of all other age groups.

In this context, we are sharing valuable views of Shri Siddhant Kumar, Advocate, Family Court, Lucknow in public interest.

Promoting Safety on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2024: Honoring Our Seniors

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), observed annually on June 15th, is a crucial initiative aimed at highlighting the often overlooked issue of elder abuse. This day serves as a reminder of the importance of protecting and honoring our seniors, who deserve to live with dignity and respect.

Elder abuse, which can manifest in various forms such as physical, emotional, financial exploitation, and neglect, remains a pervasive and underreported problem globally.

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), approximately 1 in 6 individuals aged 60 and older experienced some form of abuse in the past year, a stark reality that underscores the need for increased vigilance and advocacy.

In the United States alone, the National Center on Elder Abuse (NCEA) reported that 15.7% of elder abuse cases involved physical harm, while emotional abuse accounted for a staggering 61.3% of cases. Financial exploitation is another significant concern, with a 2021 report by AARP estimating that older adults lose around $36 billion annually due to financial abuse.

In India, elder abuse remains a serious issue, with a 2014 HelpAge India report indicating that 4% of the elderly population faces mistreatment. The COVID-19 pandemic has further exacerbated the vulnerability of older adults, leading to increased isolation and dependence on caregivers.

As WEAAD 2024 approaches, it is imperative to recognize the signs of elder abuse, promote awareness, and support efforts to create a safer environment for our aging population.

By understanding the different types of abuse and their warning signs, we can better protect our elders and ensure they receive the care and respect they deserve.

This year's WEAAD campaign emphasizes the importance of community involvement, education, and preventive measures to combat elder abuse and honor our seniors.

Understanding World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2024

World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), held annually on June 15th, is a critical day dedicated to raising awareness about the mistreatment of older adults. While the thought of someone intentionally harming an elder is unimaginable, elder abuse is a shockingly widespread problem. It can take various forms, from financial exploitation to physical neglect, and often goes unreported. WEAAD serves as a crucial reminder to be vigilant, informed, and take action to protect our most vulnerable populations.

Information Sharing Strategies to Help Fight Elder Abuse

According to a 2017 research study, elder abuse affects one in six older adults and approximately 141 million people around the globe. Elder abuse can be physical, verbal, financial, or sexual and, in some cases, involve neglect. Individuals and communities can help to fight against elder abuse by taking action to share information on the issue.

Organizing live attendance presentations in community centers, schools, and assisted living facilities about World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is a means to bring awareness to large groups on elder abuse and how to identify and resolve the issue. In addition, harnessing the power of social media and free teleconferencing technologies to create virtual events such as webinars and conferences helps bring communities together to raise awareness and advocate for elder protection.

Encouraging organizations and places of worship to integrate information about elder abuse into their newsletters, events, and press releases also brings attention to the issue. Collaborating with and supporting advocacy organizations such as the Elder Justice Foundation that are actively working on efforts to protect seniors can have an additional positive impact on the fight against elder abuse.

Combatting Elder Abuse

This year, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) coincides with two important events. The first is the start of the United Nations Decade of Healthy Ageing (2021-2030). This marks the beginning of ten years of concerted, catalytic, and sustained collaboration with diverse stakeholders on improving the lives of older people, their families, and their communities. The second is the 20th milestone of the Second World Assembly on Ageing and the fourth review and appraisal of the implementation of the Madrid International Plan of Action on Ageing (MIPAA). These provide an opportunity to generate renewed momentum for international action to advance the ageing agenda.

MIPAA represents the first time Governments agreed to link questions of ageing to other frameworks for social and economic development and human rights. The 159 Member States who signed onto the MIPAA reaffirmed the commitment to spare no effort to protect human rights and fundamental freedoms, including the right to development.

Ageism...like racism and sexism, is a form of prejudice, a form of oppression that not only limits people who are the object of that oppression but which also shapes perceptions of people, both young and old, who hold ageist attitudes.    World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (#WEAAD) is today June 15!
