I was delighted to highlight all of the positive work of @INTGenderChamps at the Champions meeting hosted by @CanadaGeneva -“This is not an easy time to be a gender champion. But it is the right time to be a gender champion. D&I are not trends, they build fairer societies”.

Older persons often face significant barriers to exercising their legal capacity over personal decisions. The root cause are "ageism, prejudices and assumptions based on age prevalent in society," @IE_OlderPersons Claudia Mahler told the @UN Human Rights Council. #HRC57

We must change the paradigm of how societies treat older persons

It was a pleasure to discuss my recent report, legal capacity of older persons and informed consent at the @bagso_de side event. It was an enriching dialogue about existing challenges, but also good examples. 1 thing is certain: Age should not be a reason to restrict capacity!

We have the important 14th session of the #OEWGA ahead, which will determine how Member States protect the human rights of older persons. I look forward to hearing States advocate for a legally binding instrument that best protects the rights of older persons in their diversity.
