Console Mission supports the global call for a UN Convention on the Rights of Older Persons. Every human, at any age, holds the power to contribute to the world. Ageing must mean empowerment, dignity, and solidarity — not exclusion.
@garopsec.bsky.social418 member organisations. Almost 200 older people consultations in 12 countries. That is how we built the position we took to @UN_HRC in July. That is what a treaty shaped by older people looks like at the drafting stage, and it is why we are asking for the same thing at every stage.
@garopsec.bsky.socialGAROP is co-sponsoring an #HRC63 side event on October 1, International Day of Older Persons on how older people can help shape the new convention. Details below⤵️

@garopsec.bsky.social5 thematic segments will decide what goes in a UN convention on the rights of older people. Which makes the real questions simpler: who gets heard, from which regions & languages?
