The day is being celebrated on the 15th of June every year world wide and the theme for this year 2023 is:

How We Celebrate World Elder Abuse Day
As concerns how this day is celebrated in my community, the celebration usually is done mostly by those with a certain level of exposure to the social media.
So this is to say in my community the day isn't acknowledged by many and the few that get to have an idea concerning the day do so by the help of media platforms and the celebration ends online by posting articles related to the theme on different social media handles.
Impact Of World Elder Abuse Day On My Community
This is to say that the impact of World Elders Abuse Day with respect to my community, is almost negligible
as the awareness isn't there.
What I Will Recommend To be Commemorated This Week.
Some of which are;
The Place Of An Elder In The Society As Leaders.
The Value Of An Elder In The Society.
The Rights Of An Elder In The Society
Growing up we were taught never to fight or insult with our elders no matter the circumstance whether they are in the wrong or not.
That lesson alone will never permit someone abuse his/her elder
