WHY DO THE VOICES OF THE ELDERLY TO BE HEARD AT THE UNITED NATIONS?
Because our elders if they are important for the rulers and decisions makers, who only take into account voting or electoral choice.
The only right to respect them and the elderly in some parts of the world is the Right to Vote; this is the only occasion on which many rulers or would take into account our elders.
So you do one of the themes that we emphasize is the fact of this important duty, as it met with much greater respect and obligation, and we mean it is the obligation they feel to comply with it, appearing to polling stations regardless of the physical conditions that prevent them from moving to them.
Our elders are to exercise their right to vote in wheelchairs, on crutches or in the arms of a relative or friend, the fact fulfill this important duty, you have to remind governments of the world to recognize they also deserve protection rights in every sense of the word and not hurt but by law and democracy.
Suppose that older people consider not exercise this right, since they are not valued by the rulers in their proper perspective What would become of a vote in which a million or more people refused to comply with it?, insurance that would be taken into account is on.
So we believe that this is one of the important points to consider when assessing the importance of our elders, participation will have the Global Alliance for the Rights of the Elderly.
In fact in the vote of 2008 in the Dominican Republic Oneyda Cayetano Foundation, suggested that polling stations were placed in Nursing, so that older adults living in these places to exercise their right to vote, because in his Most have their documents, which are supplied by their families to the managers of these centers.
An investigation of which were either physically, mentally or in capacity, all with the purpose of being taken into account.
So do not lose hope that this duty and others no less important for the major is taken into account. The Global Alliance for the Rights of the Elderly, will try to reach older people around the world and ensure that their voices are heard by the United Nations (UN) and its two members this ¬.Cayetano Oneyda SuberviFoundation President Oneyda Cayetano.
