significant step towards raising community awareness on emotional care for senior citizens.

It also aims to highlight the importance of understanding well-intentioned practices that might unintentionally leave
deep psychological impact, while fostering a family and community environment based on the pillars of respect, love,

and genuine appreciation for the experience and wisdom of the elderly.

She confirmed that the guide prioritises the well-being of the elderly and said, “We dedicate this guide to everyone
who understands that caring for our senior citizens is not simply a social commitment, but it is an act of awareness,

fairness, and mature emotion, one that considers dignity as something not to be granted, but to be safeguarded. It is

for those who believe that compassion is more than intent, it is deep recognition, emotional presence, and respect for
experience. It is for those who wish to be a source of reassurance, not a burden; a comforting hand, not a controlling
one. The guide is a message of love translated into daily practices that restore their rightful place, offer lasting

appreciation, and foster unbreakable belonging.”

After concluding the press conference, various events were held alongside a series of public discussions that
highlighted the key themes of the ‘Let Us Protect Our Elders with Love’ guide.
