Spain: The Mistreatment of Older Persons, Suffering in Old Age (March 5, 2009)
(Article in Spanish)
Recent studies highlighted that over 60,000 people over the age of 65 in Spain are victims of maltreatment in their own homes, many times by their own spouses and/or children. Six out of ten of the abused are women. The Center of Royal Research established five categories of abuse of older persons. The government aims to continue steps to eliminate mistreatment of its senior citizens.
