联合国吁重视发生在年长群体的虐待问题

在6月15日“全球虐老问题醒觉日”(World Elder Abuse Awareness Day)前夕, 专攻年长者权益的联合国人权专家科恩菲尔德-马特(Rosa Kornfeld-Matte)强调,老年人的性虐待与强奸事件仍持续发生,即便鲜少被察觉或报道,但这种现象确实存在。

恩菲尔特自2014年来,首位被联合国人权理事会指派担任独立专家,关注老年人的所有人权问题。

“老人年的性虐待与强奸鲜少被讨论,但它却是不争的现象。” 恩菲尔特于周四时发向记者发表声明。她促请国际应多关注与报道老年遭遇虐待的新闻。

她指出,如今对于老年人的性虐待与强奸案仍是禁忌话题,社会宁可选择忽略也不愿讨论。恩菲尔特说,“随着社会逐渐步入老年化,老年人的性虐待课题应该急剧增长,在该问题缺乏数据、分析与研究下,我们无法全面掌握问题的所涉及的层面。

年长群体性虐案禁忌话题

恩菲尔特认为性虐待其中一项迷思是加害者来自于陌生人的刻板印象,但事实上,大部分的虐待者源自于家庭成员、亲戚或其他重要照顾人如来自医疗方面的照护者。

人权组织专家也表示,社会一般不会将老年人视为带有性意识的个体,而且老年人的依赖性更强,对照顾者有足够的忠诚,促使加害者能随意对老年人下手的机会,并且阻止事件曝光。

尽管老年人面临暴力后严重受损的身体状况,但仍未能阻止暴力的发生。恩菲尔特解释一般人在发现老年人遭受暴力对待时,经常以“维护老年人的尊严或错误的恻隐之心”而选择不报警处理。

为了纠正观点,她呼吁大家必须警惕老年人的行为,当发现问题时,切勿怠慢以免暴力持续。

她申明,“我再次重申,大家需要警惕与时刻关怀身边的老年人。不仅仅是家人朋友需要警惕,医院或照护中心的工作人员更需要时刻观察性暴力的事件,一旦发现可疑,必须立刻通报。”

与此同时,他也提出应提供更多相关教育和训练,以及为了能全面掌握案件的发生,应投入更多的研究及调查,以提供更多相关措施避免事件发生。
