Antigua St John’s - As Antigua & Barbuda joins the worldwide fight to eliminate abuse of elderly people, the Ministry of Social Transformation is inviting members of the public to show their support by wearing yellow on the designated day.
Preventing abuse of senior citizens will be the focus of activities on Friday, June 15, which will be observed as International Elder Abuse Prevention and Awareness Day.
During this week the Government Residential Assistance Care for the Elderly and Eligible (GRACE), will be conducting a series activities aimed at highlighting the issues that impact the elderly in Antigua & Barbuda.

Emphasis will also be placed on encouraging the younger generations to "Take a Stand in the Fight Against Elder Abuse!" - the theme under which this year’s observance will be celebrated.
To this end, everyone – old, young, families, neighbours and friends – is being asked to heed the call to action to show that the country cares about ending elder abuse and neglect.
