Shane is joined by Anne and Naomi to talk about elder abuse and family violence.
In the context of the Royal Commission into Family Violence and growing public awareness about male violence against women, elder abuse remains underreported and poorly understood. We discuss the ways this effects older people's access to safe, secure accommodation and the political context of ageism that fosters elder abuse.
For more information and support about elder abuse, please contact Seniors Rights Victoria. Other services mentioned on the show: Women's Homelessness Prevention Project, WIRE, Men's Referral Service, and of course, HAAG.
