Without protecting #olderpeople's rights, #ageism will keep harming our lives when we're older. It doesn't have to be this way! A #UNconvention would help put a stop to ageism. Time to make it happen at the #OEWG11. #LessTalkingMoreDrafting #AWorld4AllAges @UN @WHO @UN4Ageing

Did you know our negative perceptions about #ageing can affect our own health when we're #older? This #IDOP2020 check your own #ageism for a better life!
People assume when we're #older we're too frail, slow or unproductive to work. We're denied jobs because of our age. This is #ageism. helpage.org/ExposeAgeism #IDOP2020
#Ageism means #olderpeople are seen as unworthy, frail and unable to make decisions for themselves. This can lead to #ElderAbuse. See the person, not the stereotypes. #IDOP2020

#Older age is different for all of us. But #ageist stereotypes make us believe we all become frail and helpless when we get older. This leads to lack of autonomy to make decisions, exclusion from our communities and #ElderAbuse. #ExposeAgeism helpage.org/ExposeAgeism
