World Elder Abuse Awareness Day, in support of the United Nations International Plan of Action acknowledging the significance of elder abuse as a public health and human rights issue, was launched on June 15, 2006, to provide an opportunity for communities around the world to promote a better understanding of abuse and neglect of older persons by raising awareness of the cultural, social, economic and demographic processes affecting senior citizens.
Conferences, symposiums, seminars and training classes happen all around the world with this mission in mind.
As a victim’s daughter and also one of the two producers of the ground-breaking documentary “Last Will and Embezzlement”, Pamela S. K. Glasner will be addressing audiences in Washington DC (hosted by Wells Fargo Advisors, at the Mayflower Renaissance) and Phoenix Arizona (hosted by the Area Agency on Aging, at the Chandler Fashion Center) at events where the topic of the day will be the growing epidemic of elder financial abuse.
The DC event is on June 13th and the Phoenix event is on June 14th. If anyone is interested in further information, please visit the film’s official website: www.lastwillandembezzlement.com
