Human Rights, Ageing, and Intersectionality in the Time of COVID-19

14 January 2021

What impact will the pandemic have on human rights of older persons? This publication addresses human rights issues affecting older persons, particularly those emerging during the COVID-19 pandemic, such as age discrimination, poverty, isolation and ‘intersectional discrimination’.

This wider issue focus on Human Rights of Older Persons and COVID-19 includes an article on “Human Rights, Ageing and Intersectionality in the Time of COVID-19” from our colleague Nena Georgantzi (pp. 37-43).
