Every year, June 15 represents World Elder Abuse Awareness Day.

A day set aside to raise voices against the abuse and suffering inflicted on older people – many of these elders are women! The Guardians of the Gray Masters Foundation-Ghana is a private Humanitarian foundation aimed at protecting the civil rights of and providing support to elderly people who are abandoned, discriminated against, or victims of elder-abused situations. Abigail Miezah is a Principal Nursing Officer with the Ghana Health Service, the Foundation’s Executive Director, and our Woman of the Month!

In this episode of 50/50, we focus on Abigail’s work with the elderly, her challenges, and what nuggets of wisdom she has gathered over the years!
