As we mark WorldElderAbuseAwarenessDay, ACLgov reaffirms that older adults are equal members of our communities, entitled to all the same dignity, rights, and security that each of us would expect at any age:
Tomorrow we join the world in speaking out against the abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older adults forThis day is about coming together to reaffirm that older adults are equal members of our communities, entitled to all the same dignity, rights, and security that each of us would expect at any age.
It also means acknowledging that elder abuse is not a problem for “someone else” to solve. Every one of us shapes the communities in which we live, therefore, every one of us has a role to play in advancing elder justice. It is a sad reality that older adults who face abuse, neglect, or exploitation often do so in silence. One study found that for every reported case of elder abuse, 23 cases go unreported. When we lift up the voices of survivors of elder abuse, we assert that they are entitled to dignity as opposed to stigma or shame. Victims should never feel embarrassed or feel that they are responsible for the abuse they experience.
