World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD), observed annually on 15 June, serves as a global call to recognize and address elder abuse as both a human rights violation and a growing policy challenge in ageing societies.
In 2026, the United Nations Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA), together with the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) and the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR), will mark WEAAD through a side event held on the margins of the nineteenth session of the Conference of States Parties to the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities (COSP19), at United Nations Headquarters in New York.
