Around the world, older persons
are tragically subject to psychological, financial or physical abuse.
世界各地都有老年人惨遭身心虐待或谋财勾当。
Unfortunately, too many older
persons can be at risk.
不幸的是，可能蒙受风险的老年人太多了。
Prejudicial attitudes contribute
to the problem. Today, let us re-examine
our attitudes towards ageing and the status and role of older persons.
歧视态度加剧这一问题。今天，让我们重新审视一下我们对老龄化的态度以及老年人的地位和作用。
I urge Governments, civil
society, and communities to raise awareness about this challenge. Governments, in particular, can help by
enacting legislation to protect the abused and prosecute the abuser.
我敦促政府、民间社会和社区提高对这一挑战的认识。政府尤其可以助一臂之力：颁布立法，保护受虐待者，起诉施虐人。
We owe it to older persons and
societies at large to fight ageism in all its forms and enhance the dignity and
human rights of older persons everywhere.
打击一切形式的老龄歧视，加强各地老年人的尊严和人权是我们对老年人和整个社会的责任。 |
