The article highlights the problem of reflection on violence against people of respectable age, reveals the types of violence and manifestations against people in this category. Therefore, the purpose of the article is the need for timely social prevention of violence against people of respectable age. The structure and content of social support of people of respectable age in modern society are analyzed. Statistics confirm that Ukraine is one of the countries with a significant population over the age of sixty. Statistics also confirm the existence of domestic violence against elderly people and these individuals do not seek help from social services. It was found that the issues of ill-treatment of elderly people are currently the most common in the professional discourse of social assistance. There is a strong correlation between the two interpretations: in the context of health care and social assistance. This is one of the reasons why we focused primarily on the interpretation of human rights and the application of the legislative and political approach. The socio-pedagogical conditions that help prevent the treatment of elderly people are presented and the leading factor is the need to adopt legislation on human rights in this category. The rights of respectable people are not yet fully regulated by a separate international human rights instrument, as is the case for some other vulnerable groups (eg the Convention on the Rights of the Child, the Convention on the Elimination of All Forms of Discrimination against Women, the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities). At the UN level, the issue of protecting them as a vulnerable group was first raised at the 1982 World Assembly on Aging, which adopted a political declaration and an International Plan of Action on Aging. The prospect of further research is to study the structure and content of social support for the adaptation of elderly people in social services in Slovakia.References
