SUMMARY:World Elder Abuse Awareness Day 2026
DESCRIPTION:June 15: World Elder Abuse Awareness Day\nSince 2006\, World Elder Abuse Awareness Day (WEAAD) on June 15 has raised visibility on elder abuse\, promoting seniors’ safety through global events.

In 2022 alone\, 17\,000 reported cases resulted in $137.8 million in losses\, highlighting the urgent need for increased awareness and protection to safeguard seniors’ digital security and well-being. \nOur Cybersafety Initiatives for Older Adults\nWe have developed comprehensive Cybersafety Initiatives to empower seniors with the knowledge and tools they need to protect themselves.
