Calling all campaigners & #selfie lovers! As governments gather at the #OEWG11 next week, we have one message: It's time for a United Nations convention on the rights of #olderpeople. Take a selfie with a pen & ask your government to start drafting a convention. #LessTalkingMoreDrafting

Without protecting #olderpeople's rights, #ageism will keep harming our lives when we're older. It doesn't have to be this way! That's why we're joining HelpAge International in calling for a #UNconvention to help stop ageism. Time to make it happen at the #OEWG11 #LessTalkingMoreDrafting



As governments gather at the #OEWG11, there's just one message for everyone there: we've talked for years: now it's time for a United Nations convention on the rights of #olderpeople. #LessTalkingMoreDrafting HelpAge International
