For every 1 case of #ElderAbuse reported, 44 cases are not.
Every year on June 15th, communities around the world join to commemorate World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD). Since its inception 16 years ago, WEAAD has provided an opportunity to promote awareness of—and critical actions from all over the world that addresses—abuse, neglect, and exploitation of older people.
Purple Wednesdays
One way we can all spread awareness of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), June 15th, is by wearing purple! Join in on NCEA’s Purple Wednesday campaign to share why you wear purple for WEAAD and encourage others to wear purple too.
