The key objective of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is to raise awareness of elder abuse (which encompasses neglect and mal- or mistreatment) throughout the world. To do this effectively, and in a co-ordinated fashion for maximum international impact and solidarity, the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA), together with the international members of the WEAAD Steering Committee, are suggesting participants adopt a core message, and set of sub-messages. These develop the generic aim of ‘raising awareness’ and help enable a development of awareness into action.
The core message should be used in conjunction with the WEAAD theme: “Never Ignore Elder Abuse”
