World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2025 is observed every year on June 15 to raise awareness about a growing problem across the world—elder abuse. Sadly, elder abuse is increasing day by day in many countries. Many elderly people suffer in silence, often facing physical harm, emotional pain, financial cheating, and neglect, sometimes even from their own family members. As people live longer and the elderly population grows, it’s more important than ever to protect their rights and ensure they live with dignity, safety, and love.
