Will the UK Government champion older women?
Older women are fighting for their rights in the face of poverty, violence and humanitarian crises, yet they are at risk of being overlooked.
The latest news from Age International, including updates on our work in low and middle-income countries and how you can support older people globally.
Give to our Crisis Appeal to help older people living through crises around the world
Age International has outlined 5 Easy Actions the UK Government could take to improve the lives of older people globally. By taking these steps, the UK could rebuild its development reputation and create a safer, more prosperous world.
Thanks to our donors, partners and supporters, we were able to help millions of older people to improve their lives last year.
Our policy briefing on gender equality sets out how civil society organisations, UN agencies and donor governments, including the UK Government, can advance older women’s rights and ensure they are heard.
In today’s uncertain world, it’s often older people who suffer the most. Whether living in long-term poverty or affected by a sudden crisis, older people’s needs are all too often forgotten or ignored.
It’s not right and it’s not inevitable. Together, we can help change the world for older people.
