“International organisations, such as the WHO and the United Nations, have developed guidelines and action plans to raise awareness, promote research, and encourage the implementation of protective measures. Additionally, organisations like Age Platform Europe play a crucial role in advocating for the rights and well-being of older persons. They work to influence European and national policies, promote age-friendly environments, and raise awareness about the importance of addressing elder abuse. These collective efforts, along with those of other organisations, aim to create safer environments for older persons and ensure their rights and well-being are upheld.”
