The abuse of older people (AOP) is a significant global issue, especially in the Asia-Pacific region, where rapid demographic changes have heightened the vulnerability of older adults to various forms of abuse, including physical, psychological, financial, sexual, and neglect. Empowering healthcare professionals to address AOP is essential, beginning with capacity building to equip them with the skills and knowledge necessary to recognise and intervene effectively. Although many initiatives, such as comprehensive training programmes, have been implemented to enhance healthcare professionals’ ability to identify, prevent, and manage AOP cases, barriers to effective intervention persist at individual, community, systemic, and policy levels. The literature indicates a lack of evidence regarding the effectiveness of current interventions while identifying promising practices tailored to the specific needs of local contexts. Addressing AOP in the Asia Pacific requires a comprehensive approach that includes policy reforms, strategic infrastructure investments, and ongoing research to fill existing knowledge gaps. Collaborative efforts among stakeholders such as governmental bodies, non-governmental organisations, academia, and community groups are crucial for sharing best practices and implementing evidence-based interventions. A robust framework encompassing individual, community, systemic, and policy-level strategies is necessary to safeguard the rights of older adults, promote their well-being, and ensure equitable treatment across sectors.
