The Margins

Ageism marginalises older people - directly through disrespect, silencing, invisiblizing, devaluing, shaming, segregation, violence and abuse etc. Ageism also marginalises older people indirectly by assuming they are a homogenous group and by failing to combat other the forms of oppression older people face. 

The Margins is a place for listening to older people who are marginalised. It is a place where all older people are ‘us’ rather than 'them' - and we understand that everyone has a role to play in marginalisation. 

Congress of Older People's Voices from the Margins

​The inaugural Congress of Older People’s Voices from the Margins was held at #Embolden2023; an annual event promoting the capacity of individuals, groups and service providers to combat ageism and build respect for older people. Read the #Congress2023 report by clicking on the image below or (here).
