N2  - "This brief addresses older age as a risk factor for gender-motivated violence by providing attention to women survivors aged 50 and older, looking at this specific age group due to the
paucity of global data collection on women after the age of 49. In line with the WHO, we define “violence against older women” as “any act of gender -based violence that results in, or is likely to result in, physical, sexual or mental harm or suffering” to women aged 50 and older “including threats of such acts, coercion or arbitrary deprivation of liberty, whether occurring in public or in private life." can also include financial abuse, exploitation or deprivation of resources, neglect, and abandonment. For more details on these key definitions, see the glossary." (From the publication). Access the website for other VAWG briefs. Record #5103
