World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is commemorated each year on 15 June to highlight one of the worst manifestations of ageism and inequality in our society, elder abuse.
Libraries provide a safe and comfortable space for older women to spend time; either alone or with family, friends and peers; or through participation in programs and activities. Libraries support older women by connecting them to the community or bringing the community to them.
The Care Army is about bringing together everyday people who want to help those that may not have friends, family, or neighbours who are able to support them.
