It is crucial to improve working relations between different generations, achieve higher levels of participation of older people in community organizations and in the social and political life of the country, promoting a more active and inclusive ageing process leading to empowerment.

Why this Project is Important

Potential Long Term Impact

Our project investigates the situation of violence towards older people in marginal neighborhoods of Lima in order to run awareness campaigns that create understanding of the nature and causes of violence and how it affects the lives of older people.

Project Message

We find that violence against older people comes most often from family members and goes unrecognized as violence. Older people themselves used to consider this to be normal, but not any longer.
