#AGEConf24

Big shoutout to everyone who helped us reach 3,000 signatures on our #petition pushing for a UN Convention on the rights of older persons. Your voices matter! Join us in this vital cause by adding your signature. change.org/AgeWithRights #AgeWithRights #HumanRights #ageing #aging

Control over our daily life decisions affects the enjoyment of all other human rights; #OlderPersons must retain their right to choose where and with whom they live, how they spend their money and time, and with whom they have relationships. #AgeWithRIghts

We must examine the human rights of #OlderPersons who are deprived of legal capacity and the ability to provide informed consent, as well as, the underlying causes for the restriction of these rights in old age. #AgeWithRights

We're launching a new #researchopportunity on #intergenerational #activism involving #grandparents and #grandchildren . Seeking a #PhD student/ #PostDoc for a collaborative project led by Prof. Ayalon and Prof. Yemini. Stipends available. Submit your CV to [email protected]

After 7 years with AGE Platform Europe ends my journey with this vivid network! Thanks to all for the ride!

I will start a new professional chapter in '24 but count of me to remain a supporter of #AgeWithRights & #AgeingEqual

A new UN convention would frame old age as a period of equal rights and dignity for all. Ask your government to start drafting the text by signing the petition below!

Poverty & social exclusion is a worry for 82% of Europeans.

We call on EMPL Committee Press to change that!

An EU Directive on #MinimumIncome would guarantee everyone gets #OverTheLine

Stand up for a Directive in tomorrow's Resolution to ensure no one is left behind!

Really happy that EMPL Committee Press voted on a report to improve minimum income schemes in member states, which denounces discrimination based on age & minimum contribution periods.Young people must be able to access social benefits if needed,just like anyone else! #ForYouthRights

It's #ageism to suggest that all older people think and vote the same way. Love this OpEd by Bill McKibben and Akaya Windwood in the The New York Times that points this out.
