AGE DEMANDS ACTION FOR RIGHTS

Age Demands Action (ADA) is a global grassroots campaign led by older activists. Throughout the year campaigners take action to fight age discrimination by lobbying their governments on the issues that affect them. 

To mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, on 15 June, older campaigners across the world raise awareness of elder abuse and lobby their governments to take part in the Open-ended Working Group on Ageing.

Watch ADA activist Kenneth explain why we need a convention on the rights of older people.
