A few years ago the Ethnic Communities Council of Victoria (ECCV) began a community information campaign that will arise awareness on the rights of senior citizens and elder abuse. The Filipino community was one of the first communities to develop language and culture appropriate campaign materials.

Within my Walls, a community resource on elder abuse was produced in seven languages.  We speak to ECCV Chair, Eddie Micallef about the impact of this resource to community awareness and how it helped the campaign.

June 15 is World Elder Abuse Awareness Day
