In recognition of Human Rights Day, we highlighted important insights on advancing equality for older people through the Age with Rights and Dignity Podcast Series, hosted by Ilana Landsberg-Lewis.
This series features Nena Georgantzi, AGE Platform Europe’s Human Rights Manager, alongside other advocates campaigning for the rights of older people.
The podcast explores how we can strengthen the Global Alliance for the Rights of Older People’s call for a United Nations Convention on the rights of older persons. Such a convention would address the unique challenges faced by ageing populations, ensuring that everyone can age with dignity and equal rights.
Listen now and learn how you can support this global movement.
