EAO Provincial Conference - Nov 22, 2017
Importance of WEAAD
Innovator of WEAAD, Elizabeth Podnieks, Ph.D. Professor Emerita at Ryerson University.
1. WEAAD involves activities that generate greater international recognition to the issue of
elder abuse throughout the world, and highlights the need for appropriate action and
response.
2. It is intended to give abuse and neglect of older adults a global relevance that will sustain
and move prevention efforts forward throughout the whole year and years to come.
3. It is an opportunity to join together and recognize the many local and regional efforts to
address the problem.
4. Creates a platform to speak and communicate with one united voice on this issue.
