Walk Against Elder Abuse - Hobart

Join COTA (Council on the Ageing) Tasmania us as we come together with communities around the world to combat elder abuse.

Preventing elder abuse is a critical issue:

• One in six people experience elder abuse.
• Psychological abuse, including coercive control, is the most common, followed by other forms such as neglect, financial, physical, and sexual abuse.
• Abusers are typically someone the elder knows.
• Only one-third of victims seek help.
• Ageism is a primary driver of abuse.

Details on the Day:

Please gather at 9.45am for a 10.00am start at the Information Booth in the Elizabeth Street Mall. (Liverpool Street End)

The walk makes its way around the CBD ending at Mathers House where there will be a forum and a series of speeches.
