Come along to this free talk on how to stand up to ageism with a peer educator from Older Peoples Rights Services (OPRS). Ageism is how we think about, how we feel about, and how we act towards people based on their age. Australian research suggests that most Australian adults have experienced ageism in the last five years . Yet Australians are more familiar with other forms of prejudice and discrimination, such as racism or sexism. Many remain unaware that ageism can also compound the cumulative impacts of these, exacerbating disadvantage and inequality, and that at some point in their lives they will experience its effects.
We need an array of strategies to raise awareness of the existence and address the impacts of ageism.
