🌟Landmark #EU Directive on #violenceagainstwomen & #domesticviolence adopted today @EuropeanCouncil marks some positive steps but also leaves major critical gaps. 🔑Key takeaways from joint reaction by 13 rights groups including @hrw🧵: hrw.org/news/2024/05/0… /1
As civil society organizations gather in Nairobi for a major UN conference, @hrw urges UN member states to use the “Pact for the Future” to commit to strengthening human rights, incl. promoting economic justice & protecting right to healthy environment. hrw.org/news/2024/05/0…
2/2 Read the Women & Equalities Committee letter to Minister Lord Ahmad ahead of the UN Open-Ended Working Group on Ageing meeting: bit.ly/3w51MZF @carolinenokes
1/2 The UK govt must protect the rights of older women & men by advocating for a UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons.
#Olderpeople in #SouthAfrica have rights to social security and care & support in the community New report by @Fam_Caregiving says govt should review inadequate Older Persons Grant & low uptake of grant for care at home, and improve access to home care services

#SouthAfrica’s Older Persons Grant isn't enough for an adequate standard of living for one older person, let alone other family members. A basic income grant for those 18-59 would relieve some pressure on older people who use their grant to support others mg.co.za/thought-leader…
Why a basic income grant would benefit everyone. A basic income grant would relieve some of the pressure on older people to use their older persons grant to support family members, writes my colleague @Bridget_Sleap via @mailandguardian #SouthAfrica mg.co.za/thought-leader…
Families face devastating decisions to leave older & sick relatives behind as millions forced to flee fighting in Sudan, which has the highest rate of internal displacement in the world. This grim record should be a wake up call, writes @hrw's @MoOsman88 hrw.org/news/2024/01/3…
Thrilled to see this powerful anti-ageism campaign on my daily London Underground commute #AreYouAgeist agewithoutlimits.org
"#Ageism, and an older person’s perception of aging, may hold the keys to a longer life.” Take it from the @AHCJ There's more evidence every month that ageism harms health and shortens lives. Want a long and healthy life? Check your age bias. thischairrocks.com/2023/12/13/mor…
#Kyrgyzstan women and girls with #disabilities experience beatings, rape, neglect, humiliation, deprivation of means of comms often by those closest to them - parents, grandparents, siblings, and other family members. Read more in my report for @hrw - hrw.org/node/386775
75 years since Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the UN is still failing older people. UN member states should stop dawdling and start drafting an international convention to protect their rights. #AgeWithRights hrw.org/news/2023/12/1…
🌍 Be part of a global movement for change! Sign the 'IT'S TIME to Age With Rights' #petition change.org/p/it-s-time-to… Calling on UN and member states to start drafting a UN convention on the #rights of #Olderpeople #AgeWithRights
Older people are among those most at risk of air pollution. In Pakistan it cuts average life expectancy by 3.9 years; in Lahore by 7. Pakistan should join other countries at #COP28 in calling for a complete phaseout of fossil fuels. hrw.org/news/2023/12/0…
⏰ Mark your calendars! On December 10th, we're unveiling #petition advocating for the rights of older people. Join us as we kick off this empowering journey! #AgeWithRights
Spain's basic pension of €484 per month is not enough to make ends meet. A 71-year-old woman in a food bank queue told @hrw, “All I ask for is a bit more, so I don’t have to wait here and beg for food." The new govt should prioritize tackling poverty. hrw.org/news/2023/11/2…
Older Persons must have options to stay in their own home as long as they want. Therefore, governments must strengthen the support and assistance of #OlderPersons in communities. Pleased to have participated as a speaker at the @equineteurope Workshop on De-Institutionalization.
There are UN Conventions protecting the rights of: - Women - Children - People with disabilities But #OlderPeople have been left behind when it comes to protections of their human rights. LEARN MORE 👇 #ForgottenConvention #AgewithRights youtube.com/watch?v=e4h6HX…
Governments should invest in mental health care services that are humane & rights-respecting. Today @hrw joins @gersteincrisis to highlight a model for community-based mental health crisis response that does not resort to policing & forced treatment: hrw.org/news/2023/11/1…
“Grandmas would push a wheeled walker, all while being yelled at by guards." The number of older women in prison in #Japan, often for crimes like shoplifting, is rising. @hrw report finds they get little or no care & support, or assistance when released. hrw.org/sites/default/…

Thanks @nicole_2b with help from @Bridget_Sleap for this in-depth research for our older persons rights team @hrw #Australia
We were pleased to join forces with Argentina and High Commissioner for Human Rights at today’s event to stress the obvious: human rights of older persons matter. Their rights should be promoted, protected and fulfilled. We should work harder towards achieving that goal.
#Olderpeople displaced by conflict face obstacles to obtaining humanitarian assistance. @Refugees, @UNOCHA and other humanitarian agencies & their donors should include older people in humanitarian responses. hrw.org/news/2022/02/2…
Public housing is a critical source of affordable housing for low-income New Yorkers, especially for people of color, #olderpeople and people with disabilities. @hrw research on NYC’s privatization of public housing found insufficient oversight and links with increased evictions.
Housing is a human right. US authorities should protect it. hrw.org/news/2022/01/2…
