Workshop on “Know your law” for senior citizens

Don’t live in silent desperation, your matter will be answered

Issue of concern

The fast increasing population of the elderly is one of the most challenging issue in almost all part of the world. It is estimated that by 2025 one out of every five, and in 2040 one out of every four Sri Lankans will be over 60 years.

Senior citizens are valuable part of the society having devoted a large part of their lives to workforce and family life. Still older person can be vulnerable and there for elders should be empowered to make decisions regarding their own future to improve the quality of their lives which means to have dignified, healthy, secure and active life.

Importance of legal awareness

Legal awareness is critical to seeking justice. Older persons do not make use of laws, rights and government services because they simply do not know about them. Legal awareness is only one element of empowerment but it is an important one. The degree of person’s legal awareness can affect their perception of the law and its relevance to them, as well as influencing their decision on whether and how to claim their rights. Those who are subject to grievances cannot seek a remedy unless they are aware of that such a remedy exists. Therefore it is important make awareness on laws for senior citizens of our society. Below mention areas of law is directly or indirectly relevant to this segment as they need to have proper understanding of these laws for the smooth function of their adult hood.
