| Annotation | This paper was presented at the general meeting of the NGO Committee on Ageing held on June 14 2012, to mark the first UN World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, at the United Nations headquarters in New York. In recent years Nepal's elderly population has increased considerably and life expectancy is also on the increase. As a result there are fewer people at home to give care and support to older family members who are often subject to negligence and abuse. Nepal's old age homes are few and far between. In an effort to address these issues the National Senior Citizens Federation of Nepal (NASCIF) was created in order to lobby for the rights of older citizens and to prevent abuse. (JL). |
