Older Women
Age does not protect someone from abuse. Sadly, as people get older they can also become more vulnerable. Elder Sexual Abuse (ELSA) is any kind of unwanted sexual behaviour, language, or activity that makes an older person feel uncomfortable, frightened, or threatened. It is about power not sex.
