SUMMARY:Women's March Malta 2023
DESCRIPTION: Wednesday\, 8th March is International Women’s Day 2023. Women’s day has a long history of women protesting against injustices and fighting for change as well as remembering their struggles and achievements. This year we will once again be marching in protest against the injustices of our incompetent and insensitive systems and the inequality which women continue to experience in our patriarchal society. \n This year the theme we have chosen is Women United against Injustice (Nisa Magħqudin għax mill-Ġustizzja Mċaħħdin). This theme has been chosen because of the many injustices that women in our society face every day especially when they seek justice through our institutions. Over the past months alone\, we have seen senseless sentences and court decisions\, long years of waiting for action to be taken or for justice to be served\, police inaction which could have prevented serious crimes such as domestic violence and femicide\, lack of information\, lack of coordination\, as well as instances of baseless victim blaming. Women experience injustice not only because of inequality and discrimination but also because our justice system is a farce. \n Join us on Wednesday\, 8th March at 5.30 pm near the Triton Fountain in Floriana where we will start our protest march to voice our anger at these institutions which are supposed to protect us and to demand that our voices be heard and justice served. The march will end in front of the law courts where we will shout our demands. \n Come and bring other women. Come with placards voicing your anger and demanding justice. \n#womenunitedagainstinjustice\n#nisamagħqudinmillġustizzjamċaħħdin \n—– \nL-Erbgħa\, 8 ta’ Marzu huwa l-Jum Internazzjonali tal-Mara 2023. Jum il-Mara għandu storja twila ta’ nisa jipprotestaw kontra l-inġustizzji u jiġġieldu għall-bidla kif ukoll ifakkru l-ġlidiet u r-rebħiet tagħhom fil-passat. Din is-sena se nkunu għal darb’oħra qegħdin nimmarċjaw bi protesta kontra l-inġustizzji li jitwettqu mis-sistemi inkompetenti u insensittivi tagħna u kontra l-inugwaljanzi li n-nisa għadhom jaffaċċjaw ta’ kuljum fis-soċjetà patrijarkali li ngħixu fiha. \n Din is-sena t-tema li għażilna hija Nisa Magħqudin għax mill-Ġustizzja Mċaħħdin. Din it-tema ġiet magħżula minħabba l-ħafna inġustizzji li n-nisa fis-soċjetà iħabbtu wiċċhom magħhom ta’ kuljum speċjalment meta jfittxu l-ġustizzja fl-istituzzjonijiet tagħna. Matul ix-xhur li għaddew rajna sentenzi u deċiżjonijiet bla sens mill-qrati tagħna\, snin twal ta’ stennija biex tittieħed azzjoni biex issir ġustizzja\, nuqqas ta’ azzjoni mill-pulizija li setgħet evitat reati serji bħall-vjolenza domestika u anki femiċidji\, nuqqas ta’ informazzjoni u ta’ koordinazzjoni\, kif ukoll sitwazzjonijiet fejn il-vittma minflok ġiet protetta\, taw it-tort lilha. In-nisa jesperjenzaw l-inġustizzja mhux biss minħabba l-inugwaljanza u d-diskriminazzjoni imma wkoll għax is-sistema ġudizzjarja hija farsa. \n Ingħaqdu magħna nhar l-Erbgħa 8 ta’ Marzu fil-5.30 ta’ filgħaxija fejn il-Funtana tat-Tritoni\, il-Furjana minn fejn se jitlaq il-marċ biex insemmgħu leħinna u nesprimu r-rabja tagħna lejn dawn l-istituzzjonijiet li suppost qegħdin hemm biex jipproteġuna u biex nisħqu li l-vuċi tagħna tkun mismugħa. Il-marċ jintemm quddiem il-qrati fejn se nagħmlu dawn it-talbiet tagħna b’vuċi soda. \n Ejjew u ġibu nisa oħra magħkom. Ejjew u ġibu l-placards bil-messaġġi tagħkom ta’ rabja biex nesiġu li ssir ġustizzja. \n#womenuniteagainstinjustice\n#nisamagħqudinmillġustizzjamċaħħdin

SUMMARY:Rally ta' Malta Pro-Choice 2023 // Malta's Pro-Choice Rally 2023
DESCRIPTION: Ingħaqad magħna għall-Mixja u r-Rally ta’ Malta Pro-Choice 2023\, li se sseħħ is-Sibt 30 ta’ Settembru! \n L-attività se tibda b’mixja li se titlaq minn Pjazza Kastilja\, il-Belt Valletta. Il-mixja se tibda fl-4pm\, b’hekk nitolbu lil dawk li ħa jattendu sabiex ikunu hemm ftit qabel. Wara li nimxu mill-Belt\, se ninġabru finalment quddiem il-qrati tal-liġi. Fost oħrajn\, hemmhekk ser ikollna sensiela ta’ kelliema\, prestazzjonijiet u anke merċ bħal flokkijiet u tote bags. \n It-tema ta’ din is-sena hija ‘l-istigma tal-abort.’ \n Kull sena\, mijiet ta’ individwi f’Malta għamlu abort. Fil-fatt\, kull wieħed u waħda minna nafu ’l xi ħadd li xi darba għamlu abort. L-abort huwa komuni. L-abort huwa normali. \n Iżda l-abort huwa wkoll kriminalizzat. Ftit xhur ilu biss f’Malta\, mara ġiet imħarrka talli għamlet abort. Din ġiet irrappurtata mill-partner abbużiv tagħha\, u l-Istat għen biex ikompli ċ-ċiklu tal-vjolenza. \n Nies li jagħmlu abort m’għandhomx jiġu ġġudikati jew kriminalizzati. Ir-residenti kollha ta’ Malta ħaqqhom li kollha jiġu trattati b’rispett u li jkollhom l-awtonomija sabiex niddeċiedu x’inhu l-aħjar għalina\, għal ġisimna\, għal ħajjitna. \n Il-koalizzjoni Voice for Choice\, li hija magħmula minn 14-il organizzazzjoni u grupp\, se tkompli tiġġieled sakemm l-abort jiġi dekriminalizzat\, normalizzat\, destigmatizzat\, u jsir disponibbli u aċċessibbli lokalment.\nIngħaqad magħna! \n****** \n Join us for Malta’s Pro-Choice March and Rally 2023\, which will take place on Saturday 30th September! \n The event starts with a march departing from Castille Square\, Valletta. The march will start at 4pm\, so please arrive before then. After walking through Valletta\, we will gather in front of the law courts. There\, we will have speeches\, performances\, merchandise\, and more! \n This year’s theme is ‘abortion stigma.’ \n Each year\, hundreds of people in Malta have abortions. In fact\, we all know and love people who have had abortions. Abortion is common. Abortion is normal. \n But abortion is also criminalised. Just a few months ago\, a woman was prosecuted for having an abortion in Malta. Reported to the police by her abusive partner\, the State helped perpetuate the cycle of violence. \n People who have abortions should not be judged or criminalised. All residents of Malta deserve to be treated with respect and to have the autonomy to decide what is best for ourselves\, our bodies\, our lives. \n The Voice for Choice coalition\, made up of 14 organisations and groups\, will continue to fight until abortion is decriminalised\, normalised\, destigmatised\, and made available and accessible locally. \nJoin us!

SUMMARY:Her-Story: Women's Suffrage in Malta
DESCRIPTION:In October 1947\, women in Malta could vote for the first time. \nMaltese women did not take to the streets to fight for the vote but it was still a huge struggle\, fought in the corridors of power and on the media\, until their right as equal citizens was recognised by a male dominated political system. Such important events of her-story are often neglected and perhaps not given the importance they deserve. \nToday\, 76 years later\, women’s political representation in Malta still remains relatively low. Women have still not managed to make significant inroads in the local political sphere. We will be discussing the part of her-story related to women’s suffrage in Malta with Professor Carmen Sammut who has published research in this area. \nProfessor Sammut will give a short presentation on the topic followed by a community discussion. \nWe invite you to join us for a glass of wine and to participate in the conversation on Monday\, 23rd October at 6.30 p.m. \nEntrance is free.

SUMMARY:Echoes of Silence: A Tribute to Bernice Cilia
DESCRIPTION:As we near the poignant first anniversary of Bernice Cilia’s untimely and tragic departure\, we warmly extend an invitation to you for a Silent March and Tribute Gathering. \nThis solemn occasion is not only to honour and cherish the memory of Bernice but also to unite in a resolute stance against the pervasive scourge of domestic violence. Together we will walk in silence\, a symbol of our collective spirit and commitment\, followed by a gathering where we will celebrate Bernice’s enduring legacy of love and courage\, and reflect on our shared responsibility to challenge and change the deeply entrenched norms that perpetuate domestic violence. \nIn honouring Bernice\, we recommit ourselves to this vital cause\, inspired by her strength and the unyielding spirit of all who seek to end this cycle of violence. \nThe family extends its heartfelt gratitude to Moviment Graffitti for their invaluable support in preparing this event

Moviment Graffitti\, together with Young Progressive Beings\, is organising a protest march and action as a form of resistance to the culture of violence that characterises our patriarchal society. \nA culture of violence is one which normalises\, justifies and therefore creates a context where violence can flourish in all its forms. Violence against women can be domestic\, physical\, sexual\, social\, moral\, psychological\, economic\, political\, religious\, financial you name it\, women have been subjected to it. We live in a society where violence against women is often concealed behind jokes\, unwanted comments full of sexual connotations (often disguised as compliments)\, and other stereotyped behaviour. \n\nOn Sunday 26th November\, we will be meeting near the Triton Fountain at 11.00 a.m. to march in protest against this culture of violence and to empower women to resist violence in all its forms. Join us. Be part of the fight against gender-based violence\, which affects mostly women. You can bring your own placards or use ours.

SUMMARY:Jum il-Mara - Flimkien għal-Liberazzjoni Kollettiva
DESCRIPTION:Nistiednu lill-pubbliku biex jingħaqad magħna l-Ġimgħa 8 ta’ Marzu għall-marċ il-Belt Valletta fl-okkażjoni tal-Jum Internazzjonali tal-Mara 2024. \nIl-Jum Internazzjonali tal-Mara jgħaqqad flimkien lin-nisa kollha li ġġieldu kontra l-inġustizzji u għall-bidla kemm fil-passat riċenti u kemm fl-istorja. Dan il-jum iservi biex niftakru fil-ġlidiet u r-rebħiet tagħhom\, filwaqt li nagħrfu dak li għad baqa’ xi jsir biex inkunu nistgħu ngħixu f’soċjetà fejn kulħadd jikkollabora flimkien biex negħlbu l-isterjotipi\, il-vjolenza abbażi tal-ġeneru\, il-femiċidju\, il-kultura tal-istupru\, it-tqassim inġust tat-trobbija tat-tfal u tax-xogħol tad-dar\, il-privileġġ maskili f’ħafna oqsma tal-ħajja ta’ kuljum\, is-sessiżmu u l-lingwaġġ sessist\, id-differenzi fil-qligħ\, nuqqas ta’ servizzi u drittijiet riproduttivi\, u l-lista ma tispiċċa qatt. \nNisa\, persuni non-binary u persuni trans madwar id-dinja għadhom iħossu passjoni qawwija għal dan il-jum simboliku\, kif ukoll dawk li jappoġġjaw il-ġlieda għal soċjetà ħielsa minn dominanza patrijarkali. Għalhekk din is-sena għażilna t-tema Flimkien għal Liberazzjoni Kollettiva biex insostnu l-ħtieġa li ningħaqdu flimkien għall-bidla. Irridu bidla li teħles lin-nisa mill-oppressjoni u mill-inġustizzja. Bidliet u titjibiet żgħar huma importanti imma l-għan tagħna huwa li ssir bidla ħafna iktar radikali u globali fir-relazzjonijiet u fl-istituzzjonijiet. \nSe nkunu qegħdin nimmarċjaw irrabbjati u frustrati\, niftakru f’dawk ħutna n-nisa li tlifna f’dawn l-aħħar snin u fil-familji tagħhom li għadhom qegħdin jistennew li ssir ġustizzja. Nemmnu li importanti li nsemmu lil Sion\, lil Bernice\, lil Paulina u din l-aħħar mara li ġiet maqtula minn min suppost kien iħobbha\, Sandra Ramirez. \nIngħaqdu magħna nhar il-Ġimgħa 8 ta’ Marzu fil-5.30 pm fejn il-Funtana tat-Tritoni\, il-Furjana fejn se jibda l-marċ ta’ protesta. \nEjjew u ġibu magħkom nisa oħrajn\, ħbieb non-binary u oħrajn li jappoġġjawna. Ejjew bil-kartelluni f’idejkom b’messaġġi ta’ rabja\, tgħajtu għall-ġustizzja\, u toħolmu f’liberazzjoni femminista. \n****** \nWe invite the public to join us on Friday 8th March for a march in Valletta on the occasion of International Women’s Day 2024. \nInternational Women’s Day brings together all the women who have fought in recent and remote history against injustices and for change. This day is about remembering their struggles and achievements\, while being aware of what there is still to be done for us to be able live in a society where all people can collaborate together to overcome gender stereotypes\, gender-based violence\, femicide\, rape culture\, unfair sharing of parenting and housework\, male privilege in many spheres of daily life\, sexism and sexist language\, wage gaps\, inadequate reproductive services and rights\, and the list is endless. \nWomen\, non-binary and trans people all around the world still feel deeply passionate about this symbolic day\, as well as all allies in the struggle for a society free from patriarchal domination. Hence this year we have chosen the title United for Collective Liberation to underline the need to join forces for change. We are also looking for a change that will liberate women from oppression and injustice. Small amendments and improvements towards justice are essential but our aim is to see a much more radical\, global change in relationships and institutions. \nWe will be marching with anger and frustration\, remembering all the sisters we have lost in the past years and their families that are still waiting for justice. We believe it is important to name Sion\, Bernice\, Paulina and the last woman who was killed by the hands of someone who was supposed to love her\, Sandra Ramirez. \nJoin us on Friday\, 8th March at 5.30 pm near the Triton Fountain in Floriana where we will start our protest march. \nCome and bring other women\, non-binary friends and allies. Come with placards voicing your anger\, demanding justice\, dreaming of a feminist liberation.

SUMMARY:Malta Abortion Rights Rally 2024
DESCRIPTION:Join us for the 2024 Abortion Rights Rally on Saturday\, September 28th. \nThe event will begin with a march from Castille Square in Valletta\, at 5pm. After marching through Valletta\, we will gather at La Vallette Square. \nThis year\, in celebration of the fifth anniversary of our inaugural rally in 2019\, we are honoured to welcome two renowned international activists. Joining us will be Ailbhe Smyth\, the esteemed academic who spearheaded the campaign for abortion rights in Ireland\, and Rebecca Gomperts\, a pioneering doctor from the Netherlands and founder of Women on Waves and Women on Web. We are also excited to host a group of activists from Czechia\, known as Ciocia Czesia. As in previous years\, the event will feature inspiring speakers\, music\, and a selection of merchandise\, including t-shirts and tote bags. \nThis year’s theme is ‘Action not Words’. \nPoliticians\, including the Prime Minister\, have been mentioning the need for a discussion on abortion. So far\, these have not translated into any action. Meanwhile\, the hundreds of women in Malta who have abortions every year continue to live in fear\, under a law that condemns them. It is time to move to concrete action that shows that the state truly believes in women’s rights. \nAs the Voice for Choice coalition\, we understand that the cultural and religious values that shape our society make the discussion on abortion a sensitive one. We believe that through open dialogue\, based on respect and empathy\, we can reach solutions that respect the integrity of women in Malta. \nWe are open to participating in this important conversation. It is time for our voices to be heard and to create a future together where women in Malta are no longer judged but trusted and respected in their decisions. \nWe invite you to join us! \n****** \nIngħaqdu magħna għall-Abortion Rights Rally 2024\, li se sseħħ is-Sibt 28 ta’ Settembru. \nL-attività se tibda b’mixja li se titlaq mill-pjazza ta’ Kastilja\, il-Belt Valletta fil-5pm. Wara li nimxu ġol-Belt\, fl-aħħar se ninġabru fi Pjazza La Vallette. \nDin is-sena\, għall-ħames anniversarju mill-ewwel rally li seħħet fl-2019\, se jkollna magħna żewġ attivisti internazzjonali prominenti: Ailbhe Smyth\, akkademika li mexxiet il-kampanja għad-drittijiet ta’ l-abort fl-Irlanda u Rebecca Gomperts\, tabiba mill-Olanda li waqqfet l-organizzazzjoni Women on Waves u Women on Web. Se jkun hemm ukoll grupp ta’ attivisti minn Ċekja bl-isem Ciocia Czesia. Bħas-snin ta’ qabel\, ser ikollna sensiela ta’ kelliema\, mużika u anke merċ. \nIt-tema ta’ din is-sena hija ‘Azzjoni mhux paroli’. \nIl-politiċi saħansitra l-Prim Ministru\, ilhom isemmu l-ħtieġa ta’ diskussjoni dwar l-abort. S’issa dawn ma sarrfu fl-ebda azzjoni. Sadattant il-mijiet ta’ nisa f’Malta li jagħmlu abort kull sena jibqgħu jgħixu fil-biża’\, taħt liġi li tikkundannahom. Wasal iż-żmien li nimxu għal azzjoni konkreta li turi li l-istat tassew jemmen fid-drittijiet tan-nisa. \nBħala koalizzjoni Voice for Choice\, nemmnu li permezz ta’ djalogu miftuħ\, ibbażat fuq ir-rispett u l-empatija\, nistgħu naslu għal soluzzjonijiet li jirrispettaw l-integrita’ tan-nisa f’Malta. \nAħna lesti biex nagħtu sehemna f’din il-konversazzjoni importanti. Wasal iż-żmien li flimkien insawru futur fejn in-nisa f’Malta ma jibqgħux jiġu ġġudikati\, imma fdati u rispettati fid-deċiżjonijiet tagħhom. \nNistednukom tingħaqdu magħna! \n#AbortionRightsRally2024#ActionNotWords#VoiceForChoiceMalta#WomensRightsMalta

SUMMARY:Marċ għal Jum il-Mara - Kull Mara\, Kuljum\, Kullimkien
DESCRIPTION:Ingħaqdu magħna għal marċ il-Belt Valletta\, fl-okkażjoni ta’ Jum il-Mara. \nEjjew u ħeġġu lil nisa oħra\, ħbieb oltre mill-ġeneru\, u lil dawk li jappoġġjawna biex jiġu magħkom. Ejjew b’kartelluni li jesprimu r-rabja\, il-karba għad-drittijiet riproduttivi u l-ħolm tagħkom għal liberazzjoni femminista. It-titlu ta’ din is-sena jenfasizza kif nisa minn kundizzjonijiet ekonomiċi\, oqsma soċjali u pajjiżi differenti spiss jitqabdu mal-istess ostakli. \nDin is-sena qed nagħmlu enfasi fuq il-ġustizzja riproduttiva – id-dritt li jkollok it-tfal kif u meta tiddeċiedi int\, id-dritt li ma jkollokx tfal\, id-dritt li trabbi lil uliedek f’ambjent sikur\, b’mod sostenibbli u f’ambjent li jipprijoritizza lil saħħithom. Nafu li l-kontraċezzjoni mhijiex aċċessibbli biżżejjed\, li l-abort huwa kriminalizzat\, nies b’kundizzjonijiet bħal endometriosi ma jirċevux l-għajnuna li għandhom bżonn\, u li mhux kull persuna li jkollha ċ-ċiklu mestrwali tiflaħ tħallas għal prodotti neċessarji. \nGħal nies li jridu jkollhom it-tfal – hemm biżżejjed appoġġ? Huma finanzjarjament stabbli biżżejjed biex ikunu jistgħu jrabbu t-tfal? Tniġġis\, kostruzzjoni bl-addoċċ\, nuqqas ta’ spazji ħodor – dan kollu għandu x’jaqsam mal-ġustizzja riproduttiva. \nLil hinn minn dan\, ma nistgħux ninjoraw ir-realtà ta’ kuljum li n-nisa jiffaċċjaw – sessiżmu\, fastidju\, stalking\, stupru\, vjolenza verbali u fiżika\, kummenti misoġeni\, differenza medja inġusta fil-pagi tan-nisa u l-irġiel\, u fil-qsim tax-xogħol tad-dar u tat-trobbija tat-tfal. Xi drabi dawn huma ovvji ħafna\, imma kemm-il darba jkunu tant sottili li diffiċli tagħrafhom u tindirizzahom. \nNiftakru wkoll fil-femmiċidji li saru f’Malta f’dawn l-aħħar snin. Nappellaw biex dawk fil-poter jiaħdmu għal bidla soċjali sinifikanti\, biex ikollna trasformazzjoni ħolistika tas-soċjetà patrijarkali li ngħixu fiha. \nAħna – nisa\, ħbieb oltre mill-ġeneru\, trans\, u alleati tagħna – jeħtieġ li nsemmgħu l-vuċi tagħna flimkien\, biex niġġieldu kontra l-oppressjoni tal-ġeneru f’jum simboliku bħal Jum il-Mara kif ukoll kuljum u kullimkien għal kull mara. \nNiltaqgħu fil-Pjazza Tritoni u nimxu fil-Belt Valletta\, sakem ningabru fi Pjazza San Ġorġ biex nisimghu diskorsi\, kant mill-Kor Re-Sisters\, u żifna komunitarja minn Fran Zammit (appoġġjata mid-Dipartiment tal-Istudji taż-Żfin\, fi ħdan l-Università ta’ Malta). \n****** \nMarch for Women’s Day – Every Woman\, Every Day\, Everywhere \nJoin us for a march in Valletta\, on the occasion of International Women’s Day. \nCome with other women\, non-binary friends\, and allies\, and bring placards voicing your anger and dreaming of a feminist liberation. This year’s title underlines how women from different social backgrounds\, economic conditions\, and diverse countries share the same struggles. \nOur focus this year is on reproductive justice – the right to not have children\, the right to have children\, and the right to parent children in safe\, healthy\, and sustainable environments. We know that contraception is not accessible enough\, abortion is criminalised\, people with conditions like endometriosis lack care\, and not everyone can afford period products. \nFor people who want to have children – is there enough support? Are people financially stable to be able to have and raise children? Pollution\, over-construction\, lack of green spaces – all of this relates to reproductive justice. \nBeyond reproductive justice\, we cannot ignore women’s everyday reality – facing sexism\, harassment\, stalking\, rape\, verbal and physical violence\, misogynistic comments\, an unjust pay gap and unfair sharing of parenting and housework. Sometimes these are very obvious\, sometimes they are more subtle\, which makes it harder to denounce and address these issues. \nWe must also continue to remember the femicides committed in Malta over the past years. We call for those in power to create meaningful change\, and work towards societal transformation. \nWe – women\, non-binary people\, trans people\, and allies – can use our voices to fight together against gender oppression\, on a symbolic day like Women’s Day\, as well as every day\, everywhere\, for every woman. \nWe will meet at Triton Fountain in Floriana\, walk through Valletta\, and gather in St. George’s Square to have speeches\, songs by the Re-sisters Choir\, and a community dance performance by Fran Zammit\, supported by the Department of Dance Studies at the University of Malta.

SUMMARY:Community Discussion on the Anti-Gender Movement: Origins\, Tactics\, and Impact
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a community discussion on the anti-gender movement\, led by Maïté de Haan\, Belgian policy officer for the LGBTQI+ rights advocacy organization Çavaria. \nThe rise of the anti-gender movement has significant implications for LGBTQI+ rights\, women’s rights\, and sexual and reproductive rights.

Together\, we’ll explore how we can work collectively to protect and advance gender equality and human rights in the face of these challenges. Maïté’s presentation will be followed by a discussion and a moment to share food\, drinks\, and conversations. \nWe’re meeting Thursday 22nd of May at 6:30 pm\, 67 Strait Street\, Valletta (Moviment Graffitti premises). \nMaïté (they/them) is a philosopher and policy officer in Belgium for Çavaria\, the LGBTQI+ rights advocacy organization.
