World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is observed globally on June 15 each year to spotlight the mistreatment, neglect, and exploitation that many older adults face. Recognized by the United Nations since 2011, the day calls for increased education, stronger protective legislation, and active engagement from communities and governments alike. In 2025, the observance falls on a Sunday, continuing its mission to uphold the dignity, rights, and safety of senior citizens worldwide. The initiative is supported by global organizations such as the WHO and INPEA, emphasizing the urgent need to address the growing challenge of elder abuse, especially in vulnerable and underserved populations.
