Shared Goals podcast: Older Persons and Human Rights

Run by Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission

A new episode of the Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission’s Shared Goals podcast, with Zvezdan Pirtošek, the UN Independent Expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons.

The Northern Ireland Human Rights Commission is delighted to release a new episode of its ‘Shared Goals’ podcast series with guest Zvezdan Pirtošek, the United Nations Independent Expert on the enjoyment of all human rights by older persons.

We discuss a wide range of human rights issues affecting older persons, including:

  • Ageism
  • Discrimination in healthcare, housing and employment
  • Autonomy
  • Loneliness
  • Digital exclusion
  • Poverty
  • Social protection
  • Violence against older persons

We explore how a human rights-based approach can help address these barriers and enable older persons to claim and exercise their rights, as well as developments on a legally binding instrument on the human rights of older persons.

Released on 1 October, the International Day of Older Persons. Listen on Spotify, or wherever you get your podcasts.
