Until the advent of initiatives to address child abuse and domestic<br />

violence in the last 30 years, abuse of the elderly remained a private<br />

matter, which was hidden from public view. Today, it is increasingly<br />

recognized as an important problem occurring<br />

across the globe. The United Nations, the World<br />

Health Organization, and the International Network<br />

for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA) urge<br />

the governments and communities worldwide<br />

to raise awareness about this public health and<br />

human rights issue. As a result the INPEA designated<br />

June 15 th as World Elder Abuse Awareness<br />

Day back in 2006.<br />

What is elder abuse? It is a complex, multidimensional<br />

problem that is not easily understood<br />

and detected. It occurs when someone in a relationship<br />

of trust causes harm or distress to an<br />

elder. There are four kinds of abuse: physical (hitting,<br />

pushing), psychological (insults, threats,<br />

humiliation, harassment), financial (cashing elder’s<br />

cheques without authorization, sharing elder’s home without paying a<br />

fair share of the expenses), and neglect (a caregiver or family member<br />
