On 1 October, International Day of Older Persons, older people in 57 countries will take part in our Age Demands Action (ADA) campaign. They will call on their decision makers to take action on important issues, such as healthcare and pensions.
Many ADA activists have also sent us their "C" for convention photos to show their support for a convention on the rights of older people.

On 7 April, World Health Day, older people in 26 countries around the world met their governments to remind them of the health commitments they made in previous years.
To mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, on 15 June, older campaigners
across the world raise awareness of elder abuse and lobby their
