Dr. El-Minshawy confirms Assiut University's keenness to enhance community awareness of elderly issues on the occasion of the International Day for awareness of elder abuse 

On the fifteenth of June every year, the world commemorates the International Day of awareness on elder abuse, an occasion with a deep humanitarian significance, aimed at highlighting the issues of older people and the violations to which they may be subjected, whether psychological, social, economic or physical abuse.

On this day, Assiut University emphasizes its full commitment to spreading community awareness about the rights of older people and the need to provide a safe and dignified environment befitting their status. Abuse of the elderly, in any form, represents a violation of our moral and human values, and a threat to the structure of our societies, whose cohesion is complete only by appreciating all its categories, especially those who have spent their lives in giving and giving.

The protection of the elderly is not only a legal or family responsibility, it is a moral and religious duty, the consolidation of the principles of compassion and loyalty that are an inherent part of our culture. Hence, we are keen to support awareness-raising activities within the university that contribute to enhancing awareness of the rights of the elderly, and training cadres capable of providing comprehensive care for them, whether in the medical, social or psychological fields.

On this occasion, we call for the promotion of conscious social responsibility in the face of any manifestation of neglect, disregard or abuse of the elderly, they are the mirror of our past, the address of our values, and the owners of an unforgettable virtue.

All greetings and appreciation to every father, mother, grandfather and grandmother.. We ask Allah to provide them with health and wellness, and make us loyal to them as long as we live.
