About this event
Since 2006, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) has taken place each year on June 15 and has raised visibility on elder abuse, promoting seniors’ safety through global events.
Elder abuse networks, like CNPEA, lead WEAAD activities to mobilise communities and promote respect for older adults. KnowledgeFlow extends this care online with cybersecurity initiatives for seniors, who are frequent targets of cybercrime.
In 2022 alone, 17,000 reported cases resulted in £137.8 million in losses, highlighting the urgent need for increased awareness and protection to safeguard seniors’ digital security and well-being.
