What is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day ?
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) marks the day to highlight the need to raise awareness to prevent elder abuse in our communities. PEACYR is proud to be able to work alongside other community networks to plan WEAAD activities and work toward this goal.
WEAAD was launched June 15, 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse and the World Health Organization at the United Nations. WEAAD also supports the United Nations International Plan of Action that acknowledges the significance of elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue. Since its inception, communities around the world used this day as an opportunity to raise awareness of elder abuse and neglect of older persons, by sharing information about the facts of elder abuse, the rights of older persons and promote resources and services to support seniors’ safety and well-being.
