World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is a reminder that every older person has the right to live free from fear, coercion and harm. In this message, COTA Queensland CEO Darren Young reflects on the importance of dignity, safety, connection and human rights, while exploring the links between elder abuse, ageism and the actions needed to create a safer Queensland for older people.
