“POVERTY AND VIOLENCE AGAINST OLDER WOMEN”
COMMISSION ON THE STATUS OF WOMEN 69: BEIJING + 30
NGO FORUM
This virtual parallel event at the CSW69/Beijing+30 will address poverty and violence among older Indigenous women, grandmothers raising HIV-affected orphans, and widows. Strengths and resilience, as well as the need for human rights protections, are discussed.
Challenges and barriers to achieving the stated goals of the 1995 Beijing Declaration and Platform for Action for women of all ages, including eliminating poverty and violence, are explored, along with recommendations for needed action.
The context of the panel discussion is through the lens of older women in communities struggling with the challenges of economic security in the face of changing climate and broader societal issues, as well as the need to protect and care for children affected by HIV. Needed governmental protections are highlighted, and remedies are presented.

Ageing of the Oppressed: A Pandemic of Intersectional Injustice explores what it is like to grow older with accumulating and intersecting discrimination. It condemns ageism and other "isms." Despite its visibility during the COVID-19 pandemic, ageism is not a new phenomenon but one that has been ignored for too long by policymakers and the general population. The negative language used to describe population ageing adds fuel to the fire by filling people’s minds with ageist images that permeate all levels and sectors of society. We should all be recognized as full human rights holders, no matter our age, ability, disability, gender or sexual orientation, race, or socio-economic or any other status. This book combines theoretical models and academic essays by top experts with the real-life experience of older persons and activists. It is a must-read for advocates for human rights; policymakers; service providers; students of social and health sciences, the humanities, and law; and anybody willing to challenge assumptions and practices. The proposed UN Convention on the human rights of older persons will be a step forward to providing older persons with a remedy for daily and often life-long oppression.
