Die Wes-Kaapse departement van maatskaplike ontwikkeling in Atlantis het verlede Donderdag (13 Junie) \u2019n w\u00eareldbewusmakingsdag teen die mishandeling van bejaardes by die Saxonsea-gemeenskapsaal gehou.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Hoewel die jaarlikse internasionale bewusmakingsdag van die Verenigde Nasies tradisioneel op 15 Junie gevier word, is vanjaar se geleentheid na die 13de verskuif om bejaarde inwoners beter te kon akkommodeer, het Robin Abels, \u2019n maatskaplike werker, ges\u00ea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Onlangse syfers dui op \u2019n kommerwekkende toename in die mishandeling van bejaardes \u2013 \u2019n ontstellende kwessie wat nie net die gesondheid en menseregte van individue raak nie, maar ook tragies tot sterftes lei. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Daarom is dit noodsaaklik om bewustheid te verhoog en die mishandeling van bejaardes deur proaktiewe maatre\u00ebls te voorkom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mishandeling van bejaardes kom w\u00eareldwyd en in baie vorme voor, insluitend fisieke, emosionele, seksuele en finansi\u00eble mishandeling sowel as verwaarlosing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Lorna Gertze van die Mosaic\/Thutuzella-sorgsentrum het die mishandeling van bejaardes as \u2019n w\u00eareldwye probleem in verskeie vorme beklemtoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Milly Abels van TBHIV Voorkoming het die belangrikheid van die beskerming en versorging van bejaardes beklemtoon. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Sers. Tony Petersen het verwys na die kwesbaarheid van bejaardes wat mishandel word weens vrees en fisieke swakheid, wat dit moeilik maak om vas te stel wanneer \u2019n bejaarde mishandel word.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Thutuzella, die Wes-Kaapse provinsiale maatskaplike dienste, TBHIV-voorkoming, Mosaic en die Suid-Afrikaanse Polisiediens het gesamentlik aan die geleentheid deelgeneem en bejaardes ingelig oor potensi\u00eble risiko\u2019s en toepaslike protokol in ongemaklike situasies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Altesaam 34 senior burgers het gesondheidsondersoeke tydens die geleentheid ondergaan om hul bloeddruk te monitor en hul welstand te verseker.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Petersen het die byeenkoms op \u2019n musieknoot afgesluit en die gehoor met \u2019n weergawe van die tydlose liedjie \u201cSuddenly\u201d deur die bekende kunstenaar en liedjieskrywer Leslie Sebastian Charles, beter bekend as Billy Ocean, bekoor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die deelnemers was betower deur die optrede en het hul bewondering deur middel van applous uitgespreek. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Na afloop van die byeenkoms is \u2019n heerlike ete aan die senior inwoners bedien voordat hulle huiswaarts vertrek het.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Die organiseerders is baie tevrede met die bywoning van die byeenkoms en beplan om in die toekoms meer sulke bewusmakingsbyeenkomste aan te bied, het Abels, een van die fasiliteerders, ges\u00ea. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
