I just wanted to provide an update on the submission our organisations made together to the Independent Expert on the rights of older persons back in March 2021. The report of the Independent Expert is now available and you’ll see on page 8 that our evidence is directly referenced. As this was a global report, this is particularly great news.

I have prepared a blog about the report and our evidence (and in particular the call for a Convention on the rights of older persons), however as Friday 1 October is the United Nations International Day of Older Persons I was going to hold off on publishing it until then. I would hugely appreciate it however if you would help us out on 1 October by helping to amplify our social media work around the blog.
