At the UN in Geneva, we joined global advocates to affirm a simple truth: belonging is foundational to human rights and dignity. As a new global treaty on older persons’ rights takes shape, older people must have a seat at the table.

Older persons are leaders, teachers, and agents in their own lives. A rights-based society honours dignity, autonomy, and contribution at every age.

📊 By 2050, 1 in 6 people worldwide will be over 65. At #IDOP2025 alongside #UNHRC60, I stressed that #digital empowerment for #OlderPersons will be vital to turn ageing into a longevity dividend. 🌍 #AddingLifeToYears
#PS50 Ombudsman Republic of #Croatia raised concerns on protection of #HRDs, racial discrimination, #SocialProtection & access to health. They recommended that Croatia increase social benefits, reduce poverty among #OlderPersons & expand access to affordable long-term care
Ageism carries a substantial economic cost. By limiting the participation of older persons in the workforce and society, it reduces productivity, innovation, and overall economic growth, impacting our communities and national prosperity.

#Olderpersons worldwide continue to face serious challenges in the enjoyment of their human rights to social protection and to work. In my recent report, I undertake a thematic analysis of the intersection between these two rights and make recommendations

Ageist attitudes can significantly harm the health and well-being of older persons. These stereotypes and biases often lead to poorer mental and physical health outcomes, reinforcing social isolation and reducing quality of life for many.
#EndAgeism #AgeIsJustANumber #AgingWell #OlderPersons
Many older persons face ageism in the workplace, experiencing barriers to hiring, training, and promotion. This common bias overlooks valuable experience, skills, and the significant contributions older workers can bring to any team.
