The World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15 serves as a stark reminder of the pressing issue faced by our elderly population. Elder abuse, in its various forms, poses a significant threat to the well-being and dignity of senior citizens around the world. The World Health Organization projected that between 2015 and 2050, the population over 60 years of age will be 22 percent, and that by 2030, 1 in 6 people will be over 60. There is an urgent need to not just install specialized infrastructure, but also to address the growing cases of elder abuse around the world.
