Evita proclaims rights for old age.
On August 28th 1948, Eva Perón proclaimed the rights for old age. They were incorporated to the New Constitution of 1949. Eva Perón´s permanent preoccupation with old people made her write and announce on August 28th 1948 "The Old Age Decalogue", a list of old people´s rights that were included later in the Constitution of 1949.
The Ten Old Age Rights were: assistance, housing, clothing, physical health care, moral health care, entertainment, work, tranquility, feeding, expansion and respect.
In 1956, the Constitution of 1949 was abolished, carried out by a "liberating" military dictatorship´s proclaim and old people´s rights didn´t have institutional hierarchy any longer. Due to this on 28th August it is celebrated The Old Age Day.
Old people´s rights:
1) Right to assistance: All old people have the right to their integral protection on behalf of their family. In case of abandonment, it is the State´s responsabiity to provide such protection, in a direct way or by means of institutions or foundations created or to be created with that aim, without damage of subrogation of the State or those institutes to demand the remiss and solvent family the corresponding contribution.
2) Right to h:ousing: the right to a hygienic lodging with a minimum of housing comfort is inherent to human conditions.

10) Right to respect: old age has the right to respect and consideration from everybody
'There wasn’t a great country if we didn’t start to protect and respect the elderly; there couldn’t have been a great country if we didn’t help those who had done everything for our Homeland and in the end of their lives they need to ask for their brother’s help' Eva Duarte de Peron ====
