1st Ageism Conference: “Towards age-friendly municipalities”

Ageism translates into a violation of rights and is generally expressed in the form of infantilization, depersonalization, and dehumanization of older people. In the current context, a coordinated social response is needed to tackle ageism, which must involve increasing visibility and commitment to combat ageism, as well as identifying institutional and social strategies and tools to address it.
