Happy International Day of Older Persons - to you! We are ageing every day, and this day is a moment to reflect on what makes every single day of our life valuable, and the inequality faced in ageing. It is about older person, but also about the person each of us will become while ageing.

What protection is there against age discrimination, when 45% report having experienced age discrimination according to a recent report? International panel at #BAGSO 's German Senior Citizens' Day #AgeDiscrimination #EqualTreatment

Five years ago, we saw how societies could grind to a halt during #COVID19. 100,000 lives in care homes particularly were lost due to lack of staff and equipment; those lost to loneliness have still not been counted. @lemonde.fr: the causes of the disaster have not changed since.
