TORONTO, Canada (INPEA), April 21, 2008:
The International Network for Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) and its partners invite you to join us June 16-17, 2008 in Ottawa, Canada for a two day conference focused on learning and understanding about elder abuse and the importance of the 1991 UN Principles for Older Persons.
The conference is the centrepiece of activities taking place around the globe to raise awareness of elder abuse. Other events include cultural, educational, art and social activities. All are designed to increase understanding that elder abuse is a social and human rights issue that can be prevented.
INPEA has designed a Resource Tool Kit to assist individuals and groups to participate in this global event. To access this Resource Tool Kit, go to: www.inpea.net
