Celebrating the International Day of Older Persons
The International Day of Older Persons is observed on 1 October to honor the social, economic, and cultural contributions of elderly individuals and emphasize the importance of safeguarding their rights and well-being. Aging is a collective achievement that brings wisdom and values to society. Let’s create inclusive communities that respect and engage older people. This day encourages reflection on active aging, combating loneliness and ageism, and fostering intergenerational connections. Valuing and caring for seniors is pivotal for a brighter future for all.
