Elders Abuse Awareness Run

An unit of Jayam poly clinic is organizing the 1st Edition of 5km Awareness Run on 25th June 2017 at Panayur ECR road.

The global population of people aged 60 years and older will more than double, from 542 million in 1995 to about 1.2 billion in 2025. Around 4 to 6% of elderly people have experienced some form of maltreatment at home. Elder maltreatment can lead to serious physical injuries and long-term psychological consequences. The incidence of abuse towards older people is predicted to increase as many countries are experiencing rapidly ageing populations.

Elder abuse is a global social issue which affects the health and human rights of millions of older persons around the world, and an issue which deserves the attention of the international community. To address this we are organising the awareness run to people. 

This is a charity event with two important objectives, awareness & campaign for Elders Abuse Awareness & Cancer awareness. We firmly believe that greater Senior citizen & Youth participation will force necessary attention to create awareness on the occasion of 15th June Elders Abuse Awareness day.

Join us and say STOP Elder's Abuse!
