The aging science expert commented on the images of shame on social media: “They need to socialize”

After the curfew of 65 years and older due to the coronavirus epidemic, emotional violence on individuals caused reactions in some images shared on social media. Gerontologist Fatma Sıla Ayan said, “There is age discrimination. People over 65 have emotional needs and concerns, just like socializing. Young individuals who do not isolate themselves can also carry a virus home. What matters is empathy, tolerance, and to protect ourselves by isolating ourselves both as a carrier and as a patient.”

Within the scope of the measures taken along with the appearance of coronavirus outbreak in Turkey which ravaged the World, a curfew of elderly people over 65 years old started to be implemented. After the decision, some people shared the images of citizens aged 65 and over through social media. The videos, including emotional violence against the elderly, received great reactions, especially those who watched footage of a citizen over the age of 65 showed a great reaction to the person who shot the image. Lecturer from Istanbul Gelisim University Gerontologist F. Sıla Ayan made a statement to Demirören News Agency (DHA) about the actions of people aged 65 and over on social media and how to behave against over 65.
