Walk Against Elder Abuse - Launceston
Civic Square
launceston, australia
Event description
Join COTA (Council on the Ageing) Tasmania 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 older person knows.
- Only one-third of victims seek help.
- Ageism is a primary driver of abuse.
Details on the Day:
Please gather at 12.15pm for a 12.30pm start at Civic Square, Launceston.
The walk makes its way around the CBD ending at Town Hall where there will be light refreshments, and a series of speeches.
