Overview

This publication is a fact sheet about ageism in Myanmar which contains quotes from older people about their experiences of ageism. Ageism is widespread in Myanmar and around the world. It is normalised and very rarely challenged. For older people experiencing ageism, it can be subtle and they may not realise the way they are being treated is due to their age. There needs to be a growing recognition of ageism across Myanmar to show how it impacts older people. Ageism must always be challenged, and raising awareness is a key first step.
