Montevideo is preparing to host free activities in 2026 focused on the Day of the Elderly, with a specific emphasis on preventing elder abuse. The initiative aims to address often-overlooked forms of violence normalized within society. A key focus will be on combating ageism and the devaluation of older adults’ opinions. Organizers highlight the negative impact these attitudes have on the mental health of seniors. The events will likely offer resources and promote awareness regarding these issues. This program seeks to foster a more respectful and supportive environment for the elderly population in Montevideo. The city intends to proactively address the wellbeing of its aging citizens.
