From the previous session, focus on the “Human Rights Manifesto” by AGE.

  • Older women and men have the same rights as everyone else
  • Older people should have equal opportunities
  • Respecting older people’s rights benefits society as a whole
  • States need to take action to ensure equal rights across the lifecourse
  • Older people should be at the centre of processes that affect their lives
  • A UN convention will help older people contribute, prosper and equally enjoy their rights
  • Binding human rights commitments need to be applied through regional, national and local action
