Entitled: COVID-19 and Residential Care Facilities: Issues and Concerns Identified by the International Network Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA), this article focuses on the variability of protective sanitary, political and social measures implemented worldwide, while taking into consideration their direct and indirect implication in the emerging issue of mistreatment and human rights violations of older persons in the COVID-19 context.

On October 14, at the SGGE’s first on-line congress, Marie Beaulieu will provide its members with information on the practices of prevention and support for older persons at risk of mistreatment in residential settings during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Each year, October 1 is recognised as the International Day of Older Persons. A worldwide multitude of activities is organised to promote and acknowledge the value of older persons in contemporary society.  

As one of several activities in preparation for France’s national day of consensus-building against mistreatment on September 23, Marie Beaulieu participated in a web conference on the knowledge drawn from international research on this subject.
