NAWO highlights this important talk – which gives an overview of the concerns related to lack of social inclusion for older persons, and how to effectively promote and protect these individuals – in line with our belief in cross generational working, and the necessity for all human rights to be established and enjoyed across the nuances of the life cycle.

Ferdous Ara Begum (former Member of the UN CEDAW Committee) gave this talk at the Second International Forum on the Rights of Older Persons in Mexico City, 2014.
