Despite their contributions, many older adults face challenges such as social isolation, health issues, and ageism. The International Day of Older Persons aims to shed light on these issues and advocate for policies that protect the rights of older individuals. By promoting access to healthcare, social services, and community engagement opportunities, we can help ensure that older persons lead healthy, active, and fulfilling lives.

On this day, various organisations and communities engage in activities designed to raise awareness and promote the wellbeing of older adults. Events may include educational seminars, health fairs, and community gatherings that celebrate older persons and their achievements. By coming together to support and honour the elderly, we foster a culture of respect and appreciation, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for older individuals and recognising their vital role in our society. Wishing everyone Happy International Day of Older Persons 2024!
