Lets take a pledge on World Elder Abuse Awareness Day

Today on the occasion of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day lets take a pledge to not only just protect our elders against abuse but also work towards empowering them to raise their voice for their right to health and well-being and to live with dignity.

We can do it in our own way and can start with our family, neighbourhood, community or society.

I am trying to do my bit in my own way, mainly for the promotion of healthy and productive ageing. What about you?
