The Vishwas Trust Senior Citizen Helpline in Mangaluru marked World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15th, in an effort to raise public awareness about the issue. The day is officially recognised by the United Nations General Assembly as a time to highlight the abuse and suffering inflicted on older people across the world. Elder abuse is a serious social issue that has historically been hidden from view, and is often underestimated and ignored by societies. It occurs in both developed and developing nations, and its extent is unknown. However, as evidence accumulates, it is becoming clear that elder abuse is a significant public health issue that requires a global response. The Trust organised a silent march through the city, carrying placards and advocating against elder abuse, while educating people on methods of prevention and intervention. The helpline aims to provide valuable insights into elder abuse for individuals, empowering them to recognise and address it effectively. As a crucial organisation in supporting senior citizens, the Vishwas Trust Senior Citizen Helpline is committed to combating elder abuse and ensuring dignity and respect for all senior citizens.
