A reflection for world elder abuse awareness day

Abstract

The abuse of older people in terms of abandonment, loneliness and less value, is a reality that can be seen in our society. The Pandemic made us see that even doctors preferred to put all resources at the service of young people, and abandon the elderly. On the other hand, abuse towards the elderly is also reflected in the difficulties that may be encountered when having to carry out management using new technologies or some bureaucratic activity that requires the use of a computer or smartphone. Add to this the unwanted loneliness, contempt and lack of respect of a society that opts for the new and discards the old and used.
