Tell us why you're taking a stand against ageism

Dismissing the final periods of the lifespan inflicts a cruel and lasting rejection. No person should pass feeling unwanted or onerous.

Elders Rights are Human Rights

We are all human beings who are quick to judge but even we can set aside our differences with the older generation and work together

As human beings,all of us WILL grow old one day.If ageism continues, even WE will be affected.Stop agesim now before its too late.It all starts with you and I.

It is ridiculous to discriminate older people, thinking that they are not good just because of the age. I strongly feel that age is simply just a number.

It is mind-baffling that we humans discriminate the age groups we once were or are going to be. To put it simply I believe that age is just a number and that ability is ageless to begin with.

Ageism is against everything that encourages growth or satisfaction. It is demoralising and prevents people from enjoying the varied colours of each and every age / year of their lives.

Envelhecer não é um processo patológico, e sim natural. Com a velhice ocorrem perdas e ganhos.. A sociedade, as famílias e o próprios idosos não se preparam para o envelhecer.

Older people built our economies and our heritage but time has let them down.We no longer care for them.Why this mercilessness? Let reverse the trend now....

Because ageism is against the will of GOD. No one is entitled to have a limit of life/expire! it is therefore like any other human being aged people should be treated equally and even better.

I am sure that older people must be treated equally with others. I've already proved that. I call everybody to show example what we can do. Be young in soul and you will be young in body!

I am taking a stand against ageism because there is no expiration date on a person's humanity and as a young disabled person I can see the intersection between ableism and ageism.

Experience is gathered only after a definite age. Aged people are as umbrella for us. We all have to be aged and that's the reason I am with senior citizens of any country.

Las personas adultas mayores no deberían ser consideradas como poblaciones vulnerables por su edad, todos y todas, independiente del grupo etario, debemos ser sujetos de derechos.

I believe old people should not be discriminated against because they too have feelings and they get hurt. They have a place in our society and something to offer if we care to find out.

I don't fancy a future of being passed by or patronised.

We support Renouncing ageism. Because older People have spared no effort to improve our lives' quality and struggled to make glory. So respect, equity and appreciation is their right now

AGEISM ROBS OLDER PERSONS THEIR POTENTIAL TO SHARE RICH EXPERIENCES, SOCIAL, TECHNICAL AND PROFESSIONALISM WITH OTHERS.

Yes now a days its a burning question regarding better health maintainance for elderly people's. We are trying to do something for ensuring their lives.

Porque la participación activa de los adultos mayores permite conservar la cultura y la historia, ellos son actores claves para la lucha contra la pobreza y el impulso del desarrollo.

Porque tienen mucho que contribuir (experiencia, ideas), porque ya lo hacen y debemos reconocerlo!

Say and practice ‘I am living with parents’ instead of ‘parents are living with me’.

La experiencia que se alcanza despues de los 60 años es de valorarse y aprovecharse. Es momento de levantar la voz para que se crea una conciencia de no discriminación.

Las jubilaciones son muy tempranas para las mujeres. Los adultos mayores en pleno uso de nuestras facultades, tenemos derechos de trabajar y ser considerados iguales. No queremos discriminación.

Los años pasan y sin retorno. ¡Es hora de poner fin a la discriminación por edad! “En la vida todo es prestadito”, así sentenciaba mi abuelita, y es cierto.

Wazee wanastahili wapewe heshima. Wana uwezo inayohitajika kukuuza uchumi wetu. Hakuna hekima kama wazee waliye na nguvu wanashuritishwa kustaafu Bila kifani

Aaj Sari Duniya Azad hai pr kashmir ky logon pr itna zulm Q . . . humain ak khudmukhtar kashmir Q nahe dyte . . .

We must treat all as respected members of society, every life matters, and age only determines one thing, experiences!! #stopageism

Our value as human beings doesn't diminish as we get older. We all age and we should all join the call to end this discrimination.

Ageism robs older people of dignity and opportunity in old age.

The vote of the aged counts, it's voice should be heard. Society needs both the young and the old for sustainable development to take place. Vidya Charan Mauritius

Because each one and every one of us is going to be an elderly at some point, so we have to think that "what goes around comes around".

Because of the discrmimation and bulleying of old people because of their ages and inability to work and earn and health status people discriminate with elderly and they remains isolated.

Veo a mi madre envejecer y me gustaría estar más con ella para disfrutar de su amor y sabiduría.

Ageism is a type of discrimination that I feel does not get as much publicity and awareness as others. I've seen too many scenarios where the elderly are forgotten.

Ageism is discrimination and/or prejudice based on an individual's age. It is entrenched within many cultures and more socially 'tolerated' than sexism and racism. I take a stand against ageism.

Es necesario que dejemos de ver con naturalidad los mitos sobre la vejez; debemos darles la visibilidad e importancia que merecen, solo así promocionaremos una mejor percepción del envejecimiento.

Ageism isn't just hurtful & rude – AGEISM CAN KILL. Ageist beliefs about who is/is not sexual impacts older adults' ability to access life-saving info, services, & treatment.

Ageless Alliance takes a stand against ageism because it is destroys the dignity of older people and is at the crux of elder abuse.

We are all going to age. It's inevitable, but facing discrimination for it shouldn't have to be. We should all celebrate the gift of living and our future years we all hope to experience.

We need a social movement to make discrimination on the basis of age as unacceptable as racism or sexism. Here's a manifesto for it.

So wrong so sad so mad !

Ageism is building a social wall between generations

By creating a better society for older people today, I am creating a better society for my future

Older people are an integral part of society - let's keep it that way

Older people are valuable members of society with much to give. We need to make sure they're not invisible

Alcanzar los sesenta es un triunfo, sobrepasarlos es un reto. Algo de sabiduría hemos obtenido, quien quiera aprovechar de ella, bien, la brindamos con generosidad.

An ageing world is a triumph of modern medicine that needs to be celebrated. In defying time, why do we scorn the years we have finally grasped in our hands?

I am taking a stand against ageism because it deprive our older people of citizenship and basic needs.

Treat others the same way you want to be treated. Respect older persons and remember that one day, you will be there.

We're taking a stand against ageism because ageism legitimises and sustains inequality

I don't want children to grow up in a world, where their rights are denied because of their age. Once you have made it this far in life you should get to enjoy it free from any form of discrimination.

To ensure older people's lives matter and we are enabled to participate in shared decision-making on all the facets that impact on our lives.

Ageism is a monster we all ought to fight, the young and the old alike.

Ageism is so ingrained in our societies that aging has become a shameful experience and older people are dismissed as a liability rather than an asset. It's time to stop judging people based on age.

"People's abilities perish as they get older". For too long this ageist stereotype has existed. Older people can in a supportive and enabling environment and society. Take a stand against ageism!!!

Uganda National OPs day Nakaseke OPs Executives will not participate for there being no budget 4 OPs. This is discrimination I voice loudly and clear to the Older Persons Global Fraternity

Elderly Out of Focus The Albanian neglect of age continues! This situation shame our society. Empowering older persons is the most effective tool in the response to Ageism.

First: Seniors are persons. Second: We will be old people someday.

Ageism is humiliating and damaging to older men and women's participation in society.

On my old age I will not be able to tolerate ageism attitude to me, so why shouldn't I stop this negative attitude now and try to eliminate permanently !

My age does not tell you who I am. I want to stand up to ageism because I want to be seen as a person, not an individual defined by the date on my birth cert.

Older people deserve to live dignified life!

Ageism is a form of discrimination tolerated throughout societies across the world. People must understand it is not acceptable.

No society can claim to be civilized if rights are not respected, It’s time for us to realize that we all will be old one day, will we put up with what our old people are putting up with right now?

DIS MOI has signed up for a national Campaign for Older People Rights' because they are Human Rights! Ageism is a prejudice that we perpetuate, but its one too many!Let’s together put an end to it.

We owe to our seniors what they have legated to us. A civilised society has no right to discriminate a section of the population. Old people are still capable of being useful to society.

Older people's rights are human rights!

Ageism as one of the most tolerated forms of prejudice can simply not be tolerated anymore, as virtually any of the 7.5 billion people today can experience this form of discrimination in later life.
