The economic, social and cultural rights of older persons 1995, para. 41
Paragraph
Paragraph text
Recommendation 50 of the Plan of Action stresses the need for Governments, non-governmental organizations and older persons themselves to make efforts to overcome negative stereotyped images of older persons as suffering from physical and psychological disabilities, incapable of functioning independently and having neither role nor status in society. These efforts, in which the media and educational institutions should also take part, are essential for achieving a society that champions the full integration of older persons.
