Description
LGBTQI+ elders across continents face critical, often overlooked challenges as they age. What happens when the veterans who fought for our rights are required to go back in the closet once they require elderly care?
From social isolation to discrimination in healthcare, senior housing, and a lack of culturally competent services: this session brings together speakers from the UK, Venezuela, USA, and the Netherlands to address these global issues. The panel will highlight innovative senior housing initiatives, 'Pink Carpet Certification for Elderly Care Facilities', and needs for policy changes to ensure that dignity, safety, and full inclusion for LGBTQI+ seniors worldwide does not get lost in ageing homes, senior housing, and elderly care.
