Résumé : |
The report refers both to alarming situations and promising practices for respecting older people’s human rights.
This new version provides updates with regards to: risks to the right to health, including mental health and palliative care, how digital exclusion adversely impacts older people’s opportunities for social contact and access to information, medical and other essential goods and services, the increased risk of violence and abuse during the lockdown, the specific challenges faced by older people in residential settings, those who live alone and those who receive care at home. the report has also been enriched with new insights about the multiple disadvantage faced by older women, older LGBTI people and older Roma people. Finally, it includes some recommendations useful for policy makers, service providers, and the media. |
