World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2012
June 15th will be World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2012.
Action on Elder Abuse estimates around nine per cent of elderly people experience some kind of abuse within either the familial or the care setting, including physical, psychological, financial and sexual, largely resulting from dependency, poverty or discrimination.
