Why tackle ageism?
Tackling ageism is a key pillar of South Australia’s Strategy to Safeguard the Rights of Older South Australians to be published later in 2022.
Office for Ageing Well’s Elder Abuse Prevention Community Awareness Campaign went live on 15 June 2022 – World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.
The campaign focuses on the role ageism plays in taking away older people’s rights such as safety, dignity, and respect. And it highlights that ageism can lead to mistreatment, neglect, and other forms of abuse.
