June 15th is celebrated as World Elderly Abuse Awareness Day. This day aims to raise about the plight of elderly people who are abused and harmed. Elder abuse is one of the most neglected problems of our society. Our elders need our time and support, not just materialistic things. They spent their lives to make ours better, so now it’s our turn to help make their old age better and comfortable. .⁣ .⁣ .⁣ For Support: @aortafoundation P/C. : @whitecoataarushi #abuse #agedcare #agingparents #debtfree #dementiacaregiver #domesticviolence #elderabuse #elderlaw #elderlylove #familycaregiver #grandchildren #grandparents #joebiden #lawyer #nursinghome #olderadults #personalinjury #retirementlifestyle #retirementplanning #aortafoundation #support #aorta https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce0FeGrvdWb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

News from Australia, 4 July
A one-year-old Aboriginal girl named Kailee died at Perth Children's Hospital, leading to allegations of neglect and racism from hospital staff. The girl's mother claimed medical staff lied about her daughter's condition and neglected her. The hospital denied the allegations, saying timely and appropriate care was provided.
2. A police officer is due to appear in court for allegedly tasering a 95-year-old woman with dementia, causing her to suffer a fractured skull and ultimately leading to her death.
The officer has been charged with recklessly causing grievous bodily harm, assault occasioning actual bodily harm, and common assault.
The possibility of upgrading the charges is being considered by the NSW Police Commissioner following the woman's death.
3. The Reserve Bank of Australia (RBA) kept interest rates steady at 4.10% to assess the impact of past hikes and warned that further tightening might be necessary to control inflation.
Economic data has been mixed, with a cooling inflation reading arguing for a pause, but strong jobs and retail sales figures suggesting the need for further action by the RBA.
There is a decent chance of a rate hike in August, especially if the second-quarter inflation figures reveal that inflation remains high.
4. Introducing a fuel-efficiency standard in Australia could save drivers up to $10,000 over the life of their vehicles and reduce carbon emissions by 31 million tonnes by 2035.
The policy would also lead to a 2.8% annual reduction in the price of electric cars and deliver economic and environmental benefits worth $13.6 billion by 2035.
The study highlights the importance of implementing a fuel-efficiency standard to encourage the adoption of zero- and low-emission vehicles, while acknowledging that there may be modest price increases for petrol and diesel vehicles.

Addressing Elder Abuse: Safeguarding Older Adults with Visual Impairments
Tumblr media
  QUEZON CITY - Startling statistics indicate that the World Health Organization (WHO) estimates one in six individuals aged 60 years or older experienced some form of abuse within the past year. Shining a light on this distressing issue, The Fred Hollows Foundation, an international organization committed to eliminating avoidable blindness, highlights the heightened vulnerability of older adults with visual impairments to various forms of mistreatment.  
Vulnerabilities of Vision Impairment
As The Fred Hollows Foundation emphasizes the need for stronger community safeguards, Dr. Maria Victoria Rondaris, ophthalmologist and county manager of the foundation in the Philippines, explains the challenges faced by older adults with vision impairment. Dr. Rondaris points out that others may misinterpret their poor eye contact, slower reaction times, and uncertainty in actions as feigning unawareness, leading to impatience and anger. Recognizing the unique struggles of older adults with vision impairments is crucial to preventing elder abuse, according to the foundation.  
A Global Issue
Globally, the World Health Organization reports that a staggering 33.6 million people aged 50 or older, accounting for 78% of those who are blind, face increased vulnerability. Elder abuse, with its severe physical, mental, economic, and social consequences, poses significant threats to older individuals, including physical injuries, premature death, depression, cognitive decline, and financial losses.  
Unmasking Hidden Abuse
Dr. Vânia de la Fuente-Núñez, Senior Adviser for Healthy Ageing at The Fred Hollows Foundation, sheds light on the alarming prevalence of elder abuse, describing it as one of society's most hidden forms of mistreatment. She stresses that older adults with sight issues face the highest risk of harm. Raising awareness about the unique challenges faced by this vulnerable population is key to reducing the risk of elder abuse.  
A Growing Population at Risk
The Philippine Statistics Authority reports a doubling of the Filipino population aged 60 years and above, reaching 9.22 million in 2020 from a mere 4.6 million in 2000. This demographic shift underscores the urgency of addressing elder abuse and implementing preventive measures. According to the World Health Organization, elder abuse encompasses single or repeated acts or lack of appropriate action within relationships where trust is expected, causing harm or distress to older persons. This abuse can manifest in various forms, including financial exploitation, physical violence, psychological manipulation, sexual mistreatment, and neglect.  
Promoting Awareness and Prevention
Dr. Rondaris underscores the importance of raising awareness about elder abuse among this specific population, emphasizing that increased awareness will drive policies aimed at prevention. On June 15, the world unites in observing World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, standing in solidarity against the violence inflicted upon older individuals.   Sources: THX News, The Fred Hollows Foundation, World Health Organization, Philippine Statistics Authority.

Barbadians must be just as outraged by elder abuse as they are when it comes to animal abuse, says George Griffith. Any form of abuse should not be condoned. Abandonment of the elderly is prominent in BARBADOS but let’s face it there are many reasons why some children or relatives don’t want nothing to do with some elderly. We really need to look at creating more old peoples homes that their pensions could contribute towards. We can’t expect the burden to fall on relatives who some of those people themselves ABUSED!! Let’s discuss respectfully!! #thechasefiles #elderabuse #whoseresponsibilityisit #seniorcitizenshomes https://www.instagram.com/p/Ci95rDCA4Q-h0im0v9uHeEU1SQ96SqxtPeJ5Z00/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

My father abused my helpless elderly grandmother until the day she died. It’s honestly no wonder she cut him out of her will. She did NOT want to go to the nursing him, he FORCED her to. He lived with his parents until his 60s and stole their house - after my grandpa died he started abusing my grandma. He stole HER MONEY while she was alive and used it to control her. She wanted to stay at home and die PEACEFULLY IN HER OWN HOUSE. Instead she was FORCED to go to Fox Run which she HATED - she constantly told me she felt depressed and suicidal and angry with my father. He forced her to stay there until she DIED. I still feel her angry spirit to this day - then he had the nerve to forge the will with the help of his rich, connected asshole brother. It’s no wonder why my father’s new house burnt down and there was a “mysterious” flood in my prick uncle’s wine cellar. #stopelderabuse #getfucked #abuse #elderabuse #elderabuseawareness #elderabuseprevention (at Elder Abuse) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfW9FDfuJaG/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
