Welcoming 2026 with a renewed commitment to dignity, equity, & rights for people of all ages.
Here’s to challenging ageism, strengthening inclusion, & building communities where every generation thrives.

@garopsec.bsky.social @ungeneva.bsky.social

Human rights are essential at every stage of life.

On #HumanRightsDay, let’s reaffirm that dignity, care & equality aren’t luxuries but basic human needs.

What do #EverydayEssentials mean to you?

Violence has no age limit — neither should protection.

Older women experiencing abuse face isolation, disbelief, and silence.

It’s time to make them visible, heard, and safe.

#16Days #EndGBV #Ageism #OlderWomen #HumanRights

Digital safety is a human right — at every age.
To stop tech-facilitated violence, we need stronger laws, accountability from tech companies, & inclusion of older women in safety & leadership.

#16Days #EndGBV #ACTtoEndViolence #NoExcuse

Today, we honour the 14 women killed at Polytechnique Montréal in 1989.

Their lives were stolen by misogyny — their memory compels us to act.

Let’s remember.🕯️
Let’s listen. 👂
Let’s end gender-based violence. 🚫

@eapon.bsky.social
#NationalDayofRemembrance #EndGBV #PolytechniqueMontréal #16Days

Digital violence affects women of all ages.
Between 16–58% of women have faced online abuse — from harassment to image-based violence.
Older women deserve digital safety and respect.

@endvaw.bsky.social @oaith.bsky.social
#16Days #EndGBV #ACTtoEndViolence #NoExcuse

Digital abuse targets women of all ages — but those facing multiple forms of discrimination, including older women, are most at risk.

Safety online is a human right for every woman.

#16Days #EndGBV #ACTtoEndViolence #NoExcuse

We’re pleased to announce a new MOU between ILC Global Alliance & International Federation on Ageing to advance healthy aging. Together we’ll boost evidence, advocacy, & global cooperation for older people.

Older women face silencing too — both because of gender and because of age. During these 16 Days, we lift up their voices. Every survivor deserves respect and response.

@eapon.bsky.social @endvaw.bsky.social @oaith.bsky.social
#16Days #EndGBV #ACTtoEndViolence #NoExcuse

Older women experience unique forms of digital abuse — from scams to harassment and ageist hate speech.
Digital safety is a human right.
Protecting older women protects us all.

Older women face digital abuse too — but their reports are often dismissed.

Age should never erase your right to digital safety.

A wife’s story of her husband’s late-life mental illness reveals a truth: ageism in healthcare can be deadly—but compassion can heal.
❤️ Treat the person, not just the disease.

Older women hit by online harassment often face dismissal rooted in ageism.

Digital safety must be for all ages.

Older women face unique risks from technology-facilitated gender-based violence — from scams to online harassment to deepfake abuse.

Digital safety is a human right.

Ageism at work violates the right to equality.
Older persons deserve fair access to jobs, training & opportunity—at every age.
