Dear GAINSNet members, As you know, INSTRAW recently launched its new webpages on Gender Aspects of Ageing (www.un-instraw.org/ageing). In addition to providing useful resources on the issue, we have also set up two activities which we hope you will participate in. 1. One activity involves an email-based Discussion Forum on Gender Aspects of Violence and Abuse of Older Persons. As of today (1 April) you can register to this mailing list which will initiate discussions on 15 - 26 April with our guest moderator, Jill Hightower, President of the British Colombia Coalition to Eliminate Abuse of Seniors and Vice-Chair of the British Colombia Institute Against Family Violence. We hope you will register and participate actively in this discussion forum. To register send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with subscribe in the subject line. 2. Another activity is the Bulletin Board on ageing aspects of the 12 critical areas of concern of the Beijing Platform for Action. You do not need to register for this Bulletin Board. Just enter the bulletin board at http://un-instraw.org/discus/messages/38/38.html where you can post news, information, concerns and experiences on different aspects of gender and ageing. We hope you will participate in these two activities. Please feel free to share this information with any of your colleagues. We look forward to your response and involvement.
