Ageism is rising online — through inaccessible design, harmful stereotypes & ignored digital abuse.
Online access + safety are human rights.

Few countries include age discrimination in equality laws — a gap that leaves older persons unprotected.
📣 Challenge ageism in policy. Speak out for equality at every age.

Hearing loss is not an inevitable part of aging—it is often preventable. Prolonged exposure to loud sounds, including music through headphones or in noisy environments, can cause lasting damage. Limit noise, use ear protection, & keep headphone volume low.

Social connection is a key part of healthy aging. Loneliness can increase risks of depression, cognitive decline, and heart disease.
Regular check-ins, group walks, or calls with friends make a difference.

Learning something new stimulates brain health and supports memory as we age. Try a new recipe, word game, or online course. Challenge your mind weekly.

Thirst fades with age—hydration matters more. Sip water all day, not just when thirsty. Water-rich foods count too.

Preventing falls starts with better balance. Try heel-to-toe walking or standing on one foot. 10 minutes a few times a week helps.

Why do we need a UN Convention?
Because older persons themselves are calling for it.
Voices from around the world are demanding dignity, autonomy, and protection — no matter their age.
Let’s stand with them.
#SupportUNConvention #HealthyAgingForAll #ILCCanada
Without a global convention, older persons remain invisible in international law.
Unlike other groups, their specific rights and needs aren't protected in any binding global treaty.
The world is aging — our laws must catch up.
#UN4OlderPersons #RightsOfOlderPersons #ILCCanada
Many older people face discrimination in health care, employment, and access to justice, just for being older.
A UN Convention would create global accountability to protect against age-based discrimination.
Human rights don’t retire with age.
#UNConvention #RightsMatter #ILCCanada
Why do we need a UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons? Ageism is still embedded in laws worldwide.
A Convention would affirm older people’s rights as equals and protect them globally.

A UN Convention strengthens intergenerational solidarity! 💖 Protecting older persons' rights builds more cohesive societies where all generations can thrive. It's a win for everyone! #UNConventionOnOlderPersons #AgeWithRights #ILCCanada #IntergenerationalSolidarity
