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:Screening of 'Herself'
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a screening of ‘Herself’ on 20th November at 18:30\, in the lead up to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women. \nThe 2020 film\, directed by Phyllida Lloyd\, follows Sandra\, a single mother who leaves and moves away from her abusive partner. She struggles to move on independently with her two young daughters\, but is determined to find her own way. The film’s title may suggest that Sandra ends up building her future alone\, however this impactful story explores how she succeeds with the help of others. \nAfter the screening\, we will have a brief discussion about the film and relating to violence against women in the local context\, followed by some drinks and nibbles. \nEntrance is free\, and you are welcome to bring snacks or purchase drinks from the bar! \n\nSee you there!

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. What exactly is this movement? Why does it exist? Who are the key actors\, and how do they work to influence society? \nIn this event we’ll examine their strategies\, motivations\, and the broader impacts of their activities. 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. They work on a project titled “Gender Coalition.” This project is funded by the Institute for Equality between Women and Men in Belgium.

SUMMARY:Abortion Rights Rally Malta 2025: L-Abort Mhuwiex Reat
DESCRIPTION:Mara oħra ġiet kriminalizzata talli għamlet abort f’Malta. Dan mhux aċċettabbli. \nL-abort huwa kura tas-saħħa. L-abort huwa dritt uman. L-abort MHUWIEX reat. \nIr-rally ta’ din is-sena issejjaħ għall-ġustizzja – kemm għal mara f’dan il-każ\, u anke għal kull persuna oħra li ġiet imġiegħla tiskot\, tistħi\, jew tibża’ minħabba l-liġijiet ta’ Malta. L-ebda mara m’għandha qatt tgħaddi minn investigazzjoni tal-pulizija\, awla tal-qorti\, jew akkużi kriminali miġjuba kontriha talli ħadet deċiżjoni dwar ħajjitha stess. \nPost: Quddiem il-Qorti\, il-BeltData u Ħin: 27/09/2025 fl-10 am \nNingħaqdu għax: \n\nL-abort GĦANDU jiġi dekriminalizzat. X’qed nistennew?!\nIl-professjonisti tal-kura tas-saħħa u soċjali għandhom jipprovdu kura mingħajr biża’\, mhux jaġixxu bħala pulizija.\nNisa li għamlu abort jistħoqqilhom kompassjoni. M’intomx waħedkom.\n\n  \nAħna qegħdin ningħaqdu f’solidarjetà man-nisa li kellhom jgħaddu minn dawn il-każijiet. Malta fallietkom. \nĠibu l-kartelli tagħkom\, il-vuċijiet tagħkom\, u l-kuraġġ tagħkom. Ejjew nimlew it-toroq b’messaġġ wieħed ċar u tond: L-Abort Mhuwiex Reat. \nKulħadd huwa mistieden – din il-ġlieda hija għal kulħadd. \n****** \nYet another woman has been criminalised for an abortion in Malta. This is unacceptable. \nAbortion is healthcare. Abortion is a human right. Abortion is NOT a crime. \nThis year’s rally is a call for justice – for the woman in this case\, and for every person who has been forced into silence\, shame\, or fear because of Malta’s laws. No one should ever face a police investigation\, a courtroom\, or criminal charges for making decisions about their own life. \nLocation: In front of the courts\, VallettaDate & Time: 27/09/2025 at 10 am \nWe rally because: \n\nAbortion MUST be decriminalised. What are we waiting for?!\nHealthcare & social care professionals should provide care without fear\, not act as police.\nPeople who have had abortions deserve compassion. You are not alone.\n\n  \nWe stand in solidarity with the women in these cases. Malta has failed you. \nBring your placards\, your voices\, and your courage. Let’s fill the streets with one message loud and clear: Abortion is Not a Crime. \nEveryone is welcome – this fight is for all of us.

SUMMARY:Film Screening: Women Talking
DESCRIPTION:Join us Thursday 6th November for the Film Screening: Women Talking \nThe 2022 film\, directed by Sarah Polley\, is a powerful adaptation of Miriam Toews’ novel inspired by true events.

SUMMARY:Screening of C'è Ancora Domani
DESCRIPTION:Join us on Thursday 20th November for the screening of this beautiful 2023 film C’è Ancora Domani\, by Paola Cortellesi which is being co-organised by Moviment Graffitti in collaboration with the Department of Gender and Sexualities of the University of Malta. \nThe film will start at 6.00 p.m. at Moviment Graffitti’s premises (67 Strait Street\, Valletta). \nThe story takes place in post war Rome\, in May 1946. Italian families are struggling with the afterwar poverty\, the country is waiting to choose between remaining a monarchy or becoming a republic and to vote for the election of the Constituent Assembly. Women are voting for the very first time. In this movie\, we follow the everyday life of Delia\, a working-class woman\, mother of three children and wife of Ivano. Her life is not easy .Between many jobs to earn some money\, she faces the physical and verbal abuse of her husband and strives to give her daughter a better future. The movie shows a reality that seems far away from us\, but as we all know systemic violence against women is still present in many different shapes. \nThis activity is being organised to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women which falls on the 25th November. The Screening will be followed by an open discussion introduced by Professor Marceline Naudi. \nThe event is free of charge.

SUMMARY:One Voice Against Patriarchal Violence
DESCRIPTION:To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women\, Moviment Graffitti invites the public to a demonstration on Sunday 23rd November at 4pm in front of Law Courts\, Valletta. \nWe want to underline the culture of verbal violence permeating our society on a daily basis\, from the hateful and sexist comments on social media to cat calling and disempowering insults. We want to give visibility to the violence\, physical and psychological\, happening inside houses\, behind closed doors\, in workplaces\, in schools\, and in other institutions. We want to remember the victims of all the femicides that happened in the past years in Malta\, and to say their names. \nWe invite the public to join us in the communal fight against patriarchal violence and to empower us to bring change.

SUMMARY:Il-Marċ ta' Jum il-Mara 2026: Jum il-Mara Kuljum!
DESCRIPTION:Join us on the 8th of March in our fight for solidarity\, liberation\, and equality. This International Women’s Day we are marching the streets of Valletta to raise our voices and demand dignity and justice for all women\, non-binary\, and trans folk. \nThe first Women’s March in 1909 grew out of the labour movement as women marched for shorter working hours\, better pay and the right to vote. While International Women’s Day celebrates how far women’s rights and gender equality have come\, it is critical to highlight the erasure of women’s rights across the world\, as well as the effects of gender violence and abuse. \nIn the past years\, women around the globe\, including in Iran\, Palestine\, Afghanistan and Sudan\, have been fighting for their rights amongst war and violence. 1 out of 3 women in the EU aged 18-74 have experienced physical or sexual violence. And women in Malta are still denied their reproductive autonomy due to the criminalisation of abortion. \nWomen face struggles every day\, which is why this year our theme is “Women’s day every day”. \nWhilst women continue to fight for what they deserve\, we will keep advocating for policies and legislations that help women\, we will keep calling out sexist and abusive behaviour\, and we will not stop being loud until every woman is free. \nThe Women’s March will start at Triton Fountain in Floriana at 15:00 and will finish at St. George’s square with speeches\, and live music. \nLet’s voice our anger against the injustices that we face on a daily basis. \nLet’s march together as one voice\, as sisters united in our struggle for change. \n****** \nIngħaqdu magħna fit-8 ta’ Marzu fil-ġlieda tagħna għas-solidarjetà\, il-libertà u l-ugwaljanza. F’dan il-Jum Internazzjonali tan-Nisa\, se nimxu fit-toroq tal-Belt Valletta biex ngħollu leħinna u nitolbu dinjità u ġustizzja għan-nisa kollha\, persuni non-binary u trans. \nL-ewwel marċ ta’ Jum il-Mara fl-1909 ħareġ mill-moviment tal-ħaddiema\, meta n-nisa ħarġu fit-toroq biex jitolbu sigħat tax-xogħol iqsar\, paga aħjar u d-dritt tal-vot. Filwaqt li l-Jum Internazzjonali tan-Nisa jiċċelebra l-avvanzi fid-drittijiet tan-nisa u l-ugwaljanza bejn is-sessi\, huwa kruċjali li nkomplu nenfasizzaw it-tnaqqir tad-drittijiet tan-nisa madwar id-dinja\, kif ukoll l-effetti tal-vjolenza u l-abbuż ibbażati fuq il-ġeneru. \nFl-aħħar snin\, nisa madwar id-dinja — inkluż fl-Iran\, fil-Palestina\, fl-Afganistan u fis-Sudan — ilhom jiġġieldu għad-drittijiet tagħhom qalb gwerer u vjolenza. Mara waħda minn kull tlieta fl-UE\, bejn it-18 u l-74 sena\, esperjenzat xi forma ta’ vjolenza fiżika jew sesswali. U n-nisa f’Malta għadhom miċħuda mill-awtonomija riproduttiva tagħhom minħabba l-kriminalizzazzjoni tal-abort. \nIn-nisa jaffaċċjaw sfidi kuljum\, u għalhekk it-tema ta’ din is-sena hija “Jum il-Mara Kuljum” \nIn-nisa se jkomplu jiġġieldu għal dak li jistħoqqilhom. Aħna se nkomplu ninsistu għal politiki u liġijiet li jappoġġjaw lin-nisa\, se nkomplu nikkundannaw imġieba sessista u abbużiva\, u mhux se nieqfu nsemmgħu leħinna sakemm kull mara tkun ħielsa. \nIl-Marċ se jibda mill-Funtana tat-Tritoni fil-Furjana fit-15:00 u jintemm fi Pjazza San Ġorġ b’diskorsi u mużika live. \nEjjew ngħollu leħinna kontra l-inġustizzji li naffaċċjaw ta’ kuljum. \nEjjew nimxu flimkien\, b’vuċi waħda\, bħal aħwa magħqudin fil-ġlieda tagħna għall-bidla ta’ veru.
