The International Day of Older Persons, observed on October 1, highlights the contributions of older adults to society and raises awareness of the challenges they face. Established by the United Nations in 1990, the day promotes respect, care, and inclusion for seniors, ensuring their rights and well-being are protected. It also addresses issues such as ageism, healthcare access, and financial security for the elderly. With populations aging worldwide, the day emphasizes the importance of creating an environment where older persons can lead active, healthy, and fulfilling lives while contributing to their communities.
