International Day of Older Persons. Aged Oval Sticker

International Day of Older Persons. Aged to Perfection. 1 October is set aside to celebrate older persons and to recognise the contributions of older persons as well as to examine issues that affect their lives. This day provides an opportunity to acknowledge the contribution, wisdom, dignity and needs of our senior citizens and to rededicate our efforts to ensure their well-being. The events will put a spotlight on the specificity of older persons around the world, for the enjoyment of their rights and in addressing violations, and how the strengthening of solidarity through equity and reciprocity between generations offers sustainable solutions to deliver on the promise of the Sustainable Development Goals.
