More than 71 per cent of senior citizens in India face harassment or humiliation by their own family members, relatives or children, a study has revealed.
"Based on our interactions with elderly people, it has been found that more than 71 per cent elderly are being humiliated by their family members, relatives and others unknowingly, rather unintentionally," Agewell Foundation, an NGO working for the rights of the elderly, said in its note released ahead of World Elder Abuse Awareness Day on June 15.
