Older man in Cambodia with children

What you can do

The world’s population, and especially that of the UK, is ageing rapidly.

 

Recently thousands of Help the Aged campaigners lobbied Westminster to make age discrimination illegal in Great Britain – and were victorious. The government agreed to do this as part of its forthcoming Equalities Bill.

Joining our fight against the discrimination of older people worldwide is one of the things that you can do.

Please sign our petition today calling on the Secretary of State for International Development, Douglas Alexander, to press the UN to include older people in its HIV and AIDS indicators.
