Ageism through the ages:
A sustained theme on ageism
Ageism through the ages is a sustained theme on ageism that ran between 1 October (UN International Day of Older Persons) and 20 November 2021 (World Children's Day) as a part of the Global Campaign to Combat Ageism.
During this month and a half, activities here on the Decade Platform and on social media as well as a range of events run by stakeholders around the world brought attention to ageism through the life-course, giving initial
focus to ageism as it affects older people at the beginning of October and moving progressively towards ageism as it affects younger people and children.
You can still get involved with Ageism through the ages and the Global Campaign to Combat Ageism by accessing
the events, resources, activities, and knowledge featured on this hub and submitting your own knowledge about ageism.
Giving focused attention to ageism through a sustained theme provides an invitation to take action to challenge this insidious issue. Ageism through the ages showcases how this phenomenon affects us through our lifetime, encourages the engagement of different stakeholders in the Global Campaign to Combat Ageism, and builds a movement to change the narrative around age and ageing.
