What rights matter as we grow older?

For the new United Nations (UN) Convention on the Rights of Older Persons to work, older people must be meaningfully involved in the drafting process. 

That’s why Age International is gathering views from older people around the world on this question: What rights matter as we grow older? 

You can send a clear message to political decision makers and people of all ages - that everyone deserves recognition, respect and rights at every stage of life.

Please share your views and experiences on what rights matter as we grow older. This can be a sentence or a few lines. There’s no wrong answer, we just want to hear what matters to you.
