Ehsan hosts live broadcast on elderly rights law

Dr al-Ansari explained that the existing laws already include rights of the elderly, who are an integral part of society, and the general legislations preserve their rights.

The Centre for Empowerment and Elderly Care (Ehsan) has hosted Lawyer Dr Abdullah Youssef al-Ansari in a live broadcast to mark World Elder Abuse Awareness Day. The discussion, titled 'The Law of Elderly Rights: a Need or a Luxury?', talked about the need for establishing a law to protect elderly rights, internal legal administration, rents their collection and agencies. The broadcast addressed the issue of elderly abuse and highlighted the absence of a law to protect the elderly and whether this is considered an insult to them. It also discussed eligibility and its consequences. World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is observed every year on June 15.
