The Fiji Council of Social Services will be taking part in the Age Demands Action campaign for the first time this year.
What's happened in 2008?
150 older people marched with banners declaring their demands.
A delegation of older persons asked the government tocommit to:
- ensuring all new buses are step-free and wheelchair accessible
- providing free transport for the over 65s.
- helping older people pay for healthcare and treatment.
- funding more activities for older people (especially those that encourage intergenerational communication) so that they can contribute more within their communities.
The delegation is waiting to hear whether the government will take up their suggestions.
