Violence against older women: What Australia won’t count

The AAWAA Women’s Advocate · Apr 9, 2026 · 13m

Emma and Luci unpack AAWAA’s new submission to the UN Special Rapporteur on violence against women and girls, focusing on how violence against older women is made invisible in Australia. They explore economic and administrative violence in the age pension and homelessness systems, abuse and sexual assault in residential aged care, the erasure of male perpetrators in language and data, and why sex-based protections and rights for older women must be explicitly recognised in law and policy.
