Protecting the legitimate rights and interests of the elderly relies not only on the government and relevant departments but also on the efforts of the elderly themselves to learn, understand, and use the law. They must correctly apply legal weapons to safeguard their rights. However, faced with complex legal issues, not all elderly people know what rights they have or how to seek legal services and judicial protection when their rights are infringed upon. Due to a lack of basic understanding of elderly-related laws, policies, and rights-seeking channels, many elderly people who have their rights violated feel overwhelmed and confused by the process of advocating for their rights.
To help the elderly enhance their awareness of advocating for rights according to the law and their self-protection abilities, while also promoting the learning of elderly-related laws and policies among non-elderly groups to strengthen their awareness of safeguarding the rights of the elderly, the National Working Committee on Ageing has organized the compilation of this Knowledge Handbook for Elderly Rights Advocacy.
This book provides in-depth yet accessible explanations of key elderly-related laws and policies in the form of Q&A, and includes the main laws and regulations mentioned in the book at the end for easy reference. It can serve as a guide for the elderly in advocating for their rights and also as a reference for non-elderly readers to understand elderly-related laws and policies.
