This Circle for women over 45 years old who are experiencing one of the four types of Ageism: 1) Personal Ageism – Ideas, attitudes, beliefs, and practices on the part of individuals that are biased against persons or groups based on their older age; 2) Institutional Ageism – Missions, rules, and practices that discriminate against individuals and or groups because of their older age; 3) Intentional Ageism – Ideas, attitudes, rules, or practices that are carried out with the knowledge that they are biased against persons or groups based on their older age. Intentional ageism includes carrying out practices that take advantage of the vulnerabilities of older persons; and 4) Unintentional Ageism – Ideas, attitudes, rules, or practices that are carried out without the perpetrator’s awareness that they are biased against persons or groups based on their older age. This circle will share experiences, ideas, solutions, suggestions & strategies to combat ageism.
