EU Commissioner for Equality reaffirms older persons’ rights in time of COVID-19
On 2nd April, the European Commissioner for Equality, Helena Dalli, issued a powerful statement to reaffirm older persons’ rights during the Coronavirus pandemic:
“During the COVID-19 crisis the European Commission is committed to ensure that the rights of older Europeans are respected:
- no place for ageism in the EU;
- no-one should be deprioritised from receiving care solely on the basis of age;
- no-one should be left behind.”
