June is recognized as World Elder Abuse Awareness Month, highlighting the prevention of elder abuse and promoting the rights and well-being of older adults.

World Elder Abuse Awareness Month is observed throughout June, with the focal day being June 15, known as World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD)

The observance was launched in 2006 by the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) in collaboration with the World Health Organization, and formally recognized by the United Nations in 2011

The month-long awareness campaign aims to educate communities, policymakers, and caregivers about the prevalence, forms, and consequences of elder abuse, while promoting prevention and intervention strategies
