तरुवर बोला पात से ,सुनो तात एक बात ,
या घर याही रीत है ,एक आवत एक जात।
हमारा क्या है ,हम रहें न रहें ,ई दम दा मेनू कि वे भरोसा ,आया आया न आया न आया।
वट वृक्ष होते हैं हमारे बुजुर्ग जिनका फायदा और सुरक्षा सबसे ज्यादा पोते पोती ,धेवते धेवती नातिनों को होता है। संयुक्त होने समाज से जुड़ने का बोध कराते हैं हमारे सीनियर सिटिजंस।लेकिन आज इनकी अनदेखी हो रही हैं। भले इन्हें एटीएम समझा जाए ,ठेस तो न पहुंचाई जाए मटियामेट तो न किया जाए इनके आत्मसम्मान को। और तो और बदसुलूकी से आगे बढ़कर कई बिगड़े नवाब इनके साथ मार पिटाई पर उतर आते हैं।हम इतना ही कहेंगे -करतम सो भोगतम ,जैसा करोगे वैसा भरोगे तुम्हारे बच्चे सब देख रहें हैं। अच्छा भी बुरा भी।
२००६ में इस अवधारणा का जन्म हुआ २०११ में यह बात परवान चढ़ी -बुजुर्गों की भी सुनी जाए ,उनके आत्मसम्मान की हिफाज़त की जाए तभी से यह रस्मी दिन अस्तित्व में है नतीजा वही ढ़ाक के तीन पात। क़ानून हैं उन पे अमल करवाने कोर्ट कचहरी के चक्कर लगाओ। भारत एक क़ानून प्रधान देश हैं यहां क़ानून बनते ही तोड़ने के लिए हैं।
तुम ही उनके रोल मॉडल हो।
न्याय मिलना तो दूर की बात है। बस संकल्प हमारा ये ही हो उन्हें थकहार के ये न कहना पड़े -
मुझको ईसा बना दिया तुमने ,
अब शिकायत भी की नहीं जाती।
ये जुबां हमसे सी नहीं जाती ,
ज़िंदगी है के जी नहीं जाती। परिवार संयुक्त हुए लोकडाउन में -कलह बढ़ी बे -इंतिहा।
लॉकडाउन में ज्यादतियां बढ़ी हैं। परिवारों को संयुक्त होने की आदत ही कहाँ रही है।

The World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is observed on 15 June to highlight the issue of elder abuse. Initially, in 2006, a request to establish 15 June as a special day for elders and senior citizens was made. However, the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) finally recognised the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day in 2011.
The day aims at raising awareness about elder abuse which can be physical, mental, sexual, financial and social in nature and also includes ill-treatment and neglect. As per a survey conducted by the Agewell Foundation, around 73 percent of elders faced abuse during the coronavirus lockdown amid the ongoing second wave in India.
Released ahead of the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2021, the findings showed that the pandemic has adversely affected the lives of 82 percent of the respondents.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2021 theme
The theme this year is 'Access to Justice', which aims at reminding the importance to address the needs of elders who may seek recourse.
The older generation who have gone through abuse, violence and neglect often face problems in accessing judicial remedies owing issues of affordability, accessibility, gender bias, the impact of digitalisation, excessive delays and backlogs in judicial processes, reasonable accommodation, and discrimination.
The ability to fully exercise their human rights gets impacted by their access to justice. For elders, the preservation of respect and dignity is crucial in such situations.
Aim of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
Elder abuse is a global social issue that affects the health (physical/mental) of older generation and diminishes their rights. The aim of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day is to educate our communities on a global level about the abuse and neglect of elders.
World Elder Abuse Awareness Day history
After receiving a request from the International Network for the Prevention of Elder Abuse (INPEA), the UNGA first recognised the World Elder Abuse Awareness Day in its resolution 66/127, December 2011. The commemoration was first established by the INPEA in June 2006.
