World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) is observed annually on June 15. The 2026 UN observance will be marked by a special event at UN Headquarters in New York on June 11, focusing on the theme "Beyond Awareness: Making Elder Abuse Prevention Work". This global initiative highlights the critical need to identify, prevent, and respond to the physical, psychological, and financial abuse or neglect of older adults. Be sure to show your support by wearing purple that day 💜💜💜
