Thank you for your question.
I think you're absolutely right. Senior women are often left out of conversations on gender-based violence.
In fact, there are fewer services when it comes to that. I mean, services are generally available for women of all ages. It's usually 16-plus, and they don't necessarily specialize in things that are relevant for senior women.
As you mentioned, there is financial dependence. There might be disabilities. There might be isolation. There might be abuse by care attendants, especially sexual abuse in long-term care homes. These are the things we don't talk about enough. I think there is a lack of data on that.
For example, we know there's already a lack of data on sexual femicides. We know sexual femicides target younger women, but there's very little on whether it happens to older women. We tend to pretend that doesn't exist.
