At the UN: CSW58
Older women count
Despite the growing evidence on how discrimination affects older women, they are largely absent from the picture. This includes the debate at the UN in New York on how to address gender inequality in the post-2015 framework.
We'll be at the Commission on the Status of Women (CSW58) over the next two weeks calling for gender equality for women across their entire lives.

Working with older people: Practical guidelines
Do you work with older people in the developing world? Need practical information on how to tailor programmes to older people's needs?
We have new practical guidelines for programme managers and people working with older people, drawing on experience in the HelpAge network.
Please use the guidelines for your own work, training or as a basis for producing more detailed, locally relevant materials.
The guidelines cover topics including emergencies, HIV and AIDS, rights and advocacy and health and care.
