Guidance for UN-SWAP 3.0 Performance Indicator 14 Tackling the Protection from Sexual Abuse and Exploitation (PSEA) and Sexual Harassment (SH)*

This paper serves as a think piece to initiate and drive strategic discussions and action with key partners on ageing, emphasizing a life-course approach that integrates perspectives on the status and rights of older women. As global demographics continue to shift, it suggests actions to promote the rights of older women, and the incorporation of their perspectives into all policies and programmes at the global, national and regional level.
