@cspa-uk.bsky.socialWhy a Convention is urgently needed
By 2050, more than 2.1 billion people will be over 60 years old - that's 20% of the total global population. Yet older people worldwide are being subjected to daily violations of their most basic rights.
@angelacat.bsky.socialSome of the posts for International Day of Older People are really depressing! Lots of 'othering' and labelling. Not much reflection on the fact that 'older people' is all our future!! #IDOP2026
@cspa-uk.bsky.socialA Convention on the Rights of Older Persons can change how we think about older people and ageing, pushing back against the ageism and discrimination that so many older people live with daily, worldwide.
