Together, we'll shine a light on human rights gaps, advocate for active participation in
the 14th UN OEWG session, and drafting of a convention. Let's connect,
raise awareness, and drive change together!

Our Global Rally is now in full swing, thank you for all of the updates you are sharing! Use the hashtag #AgeWithRights to join the conversation on social media!
As the cornerstone of the Global Rally, our high-level Summit will take place on Thursday 11th April from 09:00-10:15 EDT.
Three civil society campaigners from Mauritius, Mongolia and the USA will be sharing their thoughts on why a UN convention is so important, and Ambassador Boštjan Malovrh, the Permanent Representative of the Republic of Slovenia to the United Nations (UN) in New York will participate. We will also be showing a video message of support from the UN Deputy High Commissioner for Human Rights, Nada Al-Nashif.

We will provide simultaneous interpretation into Spanish, French and international sign language at this event. Contact the GAROP Secretariat if you have any questions: (info@rightsofolderpeople.org).
