However, it is important for us to measure the social impact that seniors have in the community. They are volunteers, mentors, caregivers, lovers of the arts and tourism, and consumers, just like everyone else.
National programs and policies fail to adequately protect the human rights and the lives of older adults. The post-COVID‑19 recovery must be an opportunity to lay the groundwork for a more inclusive, equitable, and age-friendly society, rooted in human rights and with the goal of never again leaving anyone behind.
Thank you.
