Israel: Saying No to Abuse and Neglect of Older Persons (May 19, 2009)
(Article in Arabic)
Last Tuesday, the first conference on the phenomenon of violence against older persons in Jerusalem took place, entitled "No to violence against the elderly." Over 100 municipal and religious leaders and professionals attended from all disciplines working in the field of aging, including social workers, doctors and nurses from clinics and various medical centers of the region. It included a number of lectures designed to educate participants about kinds of violence against older people particularly in Jerusalem and its environs, where roughly 25% of older people admitted to experiencing either verbal or physical violence.
