Prevention of elder abuse

We try to promote a positive framework of coexistence with the elderly as well as prevent, protect and support those who suffer or could suffer any type of abuse.
The mistreatment of the elderly is a social problem that affects the health and human rights of millions of elderly people around the world. It is therefore an issue that deserves the attention and response of the whole society, to promote a coexistence in which there is no such violence.
To this end, information, support, training and awareness-raising work is carried out, in which networking and coordination with other social and police agents is essential. All the activities are carried out by placing the person in the center of the intervention, starting from their strengths and weaknesses, empowering them as protagonists of their own change.
