Mixed feelings leaving #Ukraine today. My heart is heavy for the losses and the sacrifices of our staff and by the older people they are supporting, but full of hope for the future 💙💛 We all have a role to play rebuilding a society for all ages in Ukraine 🇪🇺🇺🇦

.@verity_mcgivern, #Europe Regional Representative, is in Lviv Station #Ukraine, where many #OlderPeople arrived on packed & overcrowded trains seeking safety after the full-scale invasion. @HelpAge urges all governments to play their part in meeting the needs of older people.

🎉Great news! The resolution tabled at the #HRC54 on older persons' rights was adopted by consensus yesterday. @amnesty welcomes it but there's more work to be done. We urge govs to support the establishment of an int'l treaty on the rights of #olderpeople 1/2

#HRC54 | Draft resolution A/HRC/54/L.20 on human rights of older persons was ADOPTED without a vote.
