A 74 year old Pensioner feels that there has not been equal recognition given to the rights of the elderly.
Rachel Bhagwan made a presentation at the Public Seminar at USP on Friday on the Challenges of Poverty to the Constitution.
Bhagwan who is a widow says she is fortunate that her children and her family do their best to look after her but is concerned for those elderly who live in low income earning households.
She said that the new constitution needs to ensure that every successive government of Fiji has a policy for the elderly.
