Parent Anne-Sophie

Anne-Sophie Parent underlines how financial exclusion is linked to actual exclusion: Television licenses could not be paid in cash in a member state, a court acknowledged that this amounted to excluding non-digital customers and that cash must always be accepted as a payment

Avenues proposed by the report by @forfinancewatch: ▶️ codesign to design products and regulation ▶️Get the #nondiscrimination framework done after 13 years of discussions ▶️Extending basic payment accounts and other regulation @EU_Finance ▶️Strengthen pension adequacy

To what degree are older persons excluded from financial services? 💶💳✈️🏦🏧 ▶️WEDNESDAY 10am-11am, join us discussing #FinancialInclusion Joint event with @forfinancewatch, with @ToineMandersEP, @ecfin and @EU_Social age-platform.eu/event/addressi…

This causes aged Europeans to lack access to the basic financial services necessary to live a dignified life (cash, basic payment & savings accounts, adequate pension schemes and insurance products). Women are more likely to be affected... 3/11 See also 👉finance-watch.org/publication/re…

The right to work should be granted regardless of one's chronological age. #Ageist stereotypes and discrimination should be eliminated to ensure that older people stay in the workforce, reenter the workforce, learn and train throughout their life. #OEWG11

New report by @UNHumanRights confirms that international human rights instruments do not cover consistently our rights in older age 🇩🇪 @GermanyUN, evidence is there that we need a dedicated UN convention. Will you lead the rallying at UN OEWG11? #EULeadsTheRally #AgeWithRights

We are going from a #GenderPensionGap to a #Carers Pension Gap as more men take on caring roles, but the fundamental problem of income and social protection loss for #InformalCarers is not addressed - @parent_anso at #MIGAPE final conference @CEPS_thinktank

La LDH publie son rapport annuel sur l'état des droits humains en Belgique. Heureuse d'y avoir participé! @AGE_PlatformEU @phensmans @ZSpriet @Gemenne @Ferreras_Isa @Dunja_Mijatovic @AltheaWilliams @MaryseHendrix1 @parent_anso @Ant1Mad @SylvieLausberg liguedh.be/la-ldh-publie-…

#COVID19 has shown just how badly things go wrong when our human rights are not adequately protected. We need stronger legal roots. We need a #UNConvention to help us shape societies & systems that are fair for all ages! #OlderPeople #ItsAboutRights

The final report of the citizen & civil society survey run by the @UN in 2020 recommends that "governments take steps to ratify & support the universal rights of people with disabilities and promote the creation of an UN Convention to protect the rights of older people” (p 30)

Many women living in poverty suffer from inequalities that are three dimensional: linked to their gender, to their socio-economic status & to other criteria incl. race, disability and/or age. This intersectional discrimination makes them particularly vulnerable in times of crisis

@MichelBarnier Congratulations for all your efforts during these 4,5 years @MichelBarnier ! Very relieved that a deal could finally be reached. Now we can all look ahead to 2021. Happy New Year to all!

🇪🇺🇬🇧 The clock is no longer ticking. After 4.5 years of collective effort and #EU unity: To preserve peace on the island of Ireland. To protect citizens and the Single Market. To build a new partnership with the UK. Thank you all 🙏

@DrJohnBeard Happy to help disseminate this wonderful news! Share it widely to gather support for the Decade.

Great news - the United Nations General Assembly has declared 2021-2030 as the Decade of Healthy Ageing. Time for global action! And please all sign up to join the platform - see detail in the text mailchi.mp/decadeofhealth…

Very energized after @EU_Justice legal seminar and @elainemdewhurst report on age discrimination beyond employment. There is more cohesion&agreement than I thought among member states on the need to better protect from age discrimination. Time to adopt horizontal directive!

Help spread this good news! We will all benefit from more accessible environments 👏.

This year is our 25th anniversary!🎂 On 10 November, we host a panel debate celebrating the achievements of our movement and looking into the future of social Europe, particularly, in the context of our new strategy and the #covid19 crisis. Join us!⬇️ bit.ly/3mVzp65
