A better world for older persons is a better world for all of us. We need a UN convention for the rights of older persons. Retweet to add your voice.

I'm pleased to announce that according to @MRI_Simmons, @AARP The Magazine remains America’s most-read magazine reaching 37.5 million readers. The ATM resonates especially with the 60+ readership which grew by 500K+ since last year! Congrats to Editor-in-Chief Bob Love & team!

By 2050, one in six people in the world will be aged 65 and over.
On 26 May, Human Rights Council president @FVillegasARG took part in a @UNITAR multi-agency webinar on strengthening the promotion & protection of the human rights of older people.

Great to see so many civil society and National Human Rights Institution colleagues attending our preparation workshop ahead of the 12th Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing session next week. Thanks to all who contributed to this workshop. In solidarity! #OEWG12 #AgeWithRights
There is still no UN convention to protect the rights of older people!! Please retweet to show your support for the #AgeWithRights campaign today and into the future. #ageing #ageism #humanrights #unitednations

Age-based discrimination in employment is one of the main barriers faced by older persons.
We need to promote employment in old age and active ageing need to go hand in hand with universal and adequate social protection systems.

@MVR76 says language plays an important role in how we view and take care of long-term care residents. This is why OLTCA supports the person-centred language pledge, which looks at residents for their abilities. #TiLTC2021

The actor William Shatner became the oldest person to travel to space. The “Star Trek” star traveled to space with three other passengers on a mission that lasted about 10 minutes. Champagne corks popped. There was lots of laughter, high-spirited relief. nyti.ms/3BzTwhU

Thousands of older Australians experience elder abuse every year, sometimes from those closest to them. If you are concerned about someone you know, call the free and confidential National Elder Abuse phone line on 1800 ELDERHelp or 1800 353 374.

Friday, Oct. 1, is the United Nations International Day of Older Persons. The theme for #UNIDOP2021: “Digital Equity for All Ages.” The stereotype that older people lack digital competency isn’t just wrong, it’s hurtful. Let’s tell a new story about aging. #ReframingAging
Marcus Riley retweeted
To celebrate #UNIDOP2021's theme 'Digital Equity for All Ages', our Digital Engagement Officer Rojan has reflected on his Tech Mentoring experiences in the most recent post on BallyCara's Blog.

Marcus Riley says that BallyCara's approach to healthy ageing starts with the person, they have a belief that no matter what age you are you can pursue your passions. They start engaging with older people earlier, when they are still independent #GAN2021

.@MVR76 emphasizes how we must be self-reflective and evaluate our willingness to learn from AND with one another in order to expand reach. #GAN2021 @GlobalAgeing

“No matter the stage of life, you have the potential to pursue your potential and passions to live as happy and healthy as possible.” @MVR76 @GlobalAgeing #GAN2021

Good opening session on the second day of #GAN2021 with @SmithSloan and @MVR76 - so agree with the lack of international effort in arguing for and getting a UN Convention for Older Persons. The global #humanrights community is too silent on #olderpeople rights. @GlobalAgeing
