Welcoming 2026 with a renewed commitment to dignity, equity, & rights for people of all ages.
Here’s to challenging ageism, strengthening inclusion, & building communities where every generation thrives.

@garopsec.bsky.social @ungeneva.bsky.social
Human rights are essential at every stage of life.
On #HumanRightsDay, let’s reaffirm that dignity, care & equality aren’t luxuries but basic human needs.
What do #EverydayEssentials mean to you?

Violence has no age limit — neither should protection.
Older women experiencing abuse face isolation, disbelief, and silence.
It’s time to make them visible, heard, and safe.

Digital safety is a human right — at every age.
To stop tech-facilitated violence, we need stronger laws, accountability from tech companies, & inclusion of older women in safety & leadership.

Today, we honour the 14 women killed at Polytechnique Montréal in 1989.
Their lives were stolen by misogyny — their memory compels us to act.
Let’s remember.🕯️
Let’s listen. 👂
Let’s end gender-based violence. 🚫

Digital violence affects women of all ages.
Between 16–58% of women have faced online abuse — from harassment to image-based violence.
Older women deserve digital safety and respect.
@endvaw.bsky.social @oaith.bsky.social
#16Days #EndGBV #ACTtoEndViolence #NoExcuse
Digital abuse targets women of all ages — but those facing multiple forms of discrimination, including older women, are most at risk.
Safety online is a human right for every woman.

Older women face silencing too — both because of gender and because of age. During these 16 Days, we lift up their voices. Every survivor deserves respect and response.

Older women face digital abuse too — but their reports are often dismissed.
Age should never erase your right to digital safety.

A wife’s story of her husband’s late-life mental illness reveals a truth: ageism in healthcare can be deadly—but compassion can heal.
❤️ Treat the person, not just the disease.
