20th World Elder Abuse Awareness Day June 15
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is June 15.
This year marks 20 years of collective action, and we invite you to be inspired by the power of partnership as we strengthen our impact in communities across B.C.
This global movement, launched in 2006, combines education, advocacy, and celebration to create a world where aging is honoured and elder abuse is eliminated.
This year’s theme, “Be Bold: Age with Attitude,” celebrates the strength, wisdom, and resilience of older adults while promoting their right to live free from abuse and discrimination.
