The document discusses referrals of financial abuse to Ireland's Health Service Executive Elder Abuse Service between 2007-2014. It provides statistics on the number of referrals received each year, which have steadily increased. The majority of referrals are for females over 80 years of age living at home. For substantiated cases of financial abuse, adult children are the most common perpetrators, followed by partners. Over half of perpetrators live with the victim. Senior case workers work with victims and their families to address elder abuse situations.

D4 Challenges and solutions providing support to cross-border victims of crim...VSE 2016
(An Verelst, Victim Support Europe)
Considering the increased mobility of people in the EU and the increasingly globalized crime, people are more and more becoming a victim of crime in a Member State other than their own. Estimates show that 2 million people fall victim to cross-border crimes ever year in Europe.
Victim Support Europe conducted a study to identify the challenges and potential solutions in supporting victims of cross-border crimes questioning victim support organisations and consular services. The study showed factors by victim support organisations around Europe to be linked to cross-border victimization that can potentially form barriers to ensure victims of cross-border crimes can enjoy their rights. Language, timing, culture, practical difficulties, and distance are some of the main factors that can prove to be challenging when supporting these victims. This workshop will depict the potential challenges cross-border victims face in the different phases in the aftermath of crime – from the moment the crime occurred, the investigative phases, the trail and in the long-term. Additionally, it will zoom in on good practices and promising solutions that exist in Europe.
Speaking at the 2015 CCIH Annual Conference, Susan Hillis, PhD, MS, Senior Global Health Advisor, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, National Center for Injury Prevention and Control explains research to discover the magnitude and the effects of violence against children on a global scale.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.
