Through our involvement in the task forces of AGE Platform Europe, and our own work across the UN ECE region, and beyond, we:
- Promote the sharing of knowledge, skills and experience of older women across Europe in order to challenge the negative stereotypes of age, gender, race, disability and sexual orientation
- Affirm the rights and capacity of older women through self-help, social groups and political activity to contribute to policy development and change at local, national and international levels;
- Work across cultures and generations, recognizing that age is a life-course issue;
- Work with European Union institutions ensuring older women’s perspectives are taken into account in EU policy development and relevant programmes;
- Work with researchers to provide a gender dimension to their evidence base in order to influence EU, CoE, UNECE/UN policies
