Law Reviews 9 Cases of Elderly at Risk
Law No. 19 of 2024, known as the Senior Citizens Rights Protection Law, focuses on safeguarding the rights of the elderly and ensuring their enjoyment of all social, health, and economic rights. It also aims to raise community awareness about their rights and facilitate their interactions with relevant authorities. The law identifies nine situations in which an elderly person's legal status is considered at risk, including isolation from society without justification, use of harmful treatment methods, placement in institutions solely for disposal without necessity, or exposure to neglect, abuse, violence, or exploitation. It also covers situations such as exploitation through begging, lack of stable housing, or suffering from a disease that impairs their cognitive abilities. The relevant ministry has established mechanisms, including a helpline, to report risks threatening the safety and dignity of the elderly, with the goal of prompt intervention and protecting their rights.
