Dec 4 2022 Share

A group of pro-life youths carried out an action of solidarity with the pro-life movement.

The youths put together a number of prams and pushchairs in front of Castille, with messages of ‘TOQTOLNIX’ to express their opposition to the Government’s proposal to amend the abortion law.

Speaking about the initiative, ‘Inti tista’ ssalvani’ said that this action took place to remind the people that the “Government is introducing this amendment during Christmas time, at a time when families are preparing to spend time in each other’s company and when we celebrate life. It is worth noting that the Government does not have a mandate to introduce abortion, against which there are over 80 academics, 44 organisations, 450 doctors and over 22,000 people who are all demand that Government changes its position.”

They appealed to the Government to accept the clause and the recommendations of the 80 academics, “as it is the version that safeguards both the mother’s and the baby’s life.”

Dec 4 2022 Share

Every year, on the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, people come together to raise awareness on the violence which women experience in its many physical, sexual and psychological forms.

This violence encompasses street harassment, cyber harassment, psychological abuse, unwanted sexual advances, rape, femicide, human trafficking, child marriage and female genital mutilation.

This year the march to Reclaim the Night (Fit-Triq bla Biża’), took place for the first time in Malta. The march sent a strong message to show resistance and demand the right to move safely in public spaces.

During this event, stories about personal experiences of women and the daily violence faced, were shared.

Speaking about this event Moviment Graffitti said that this was a strong reminder of the power of solidarity. “We would like to thank everyone who showed up to affirm their belief that the streets should be a safe place at any time of the day, regardless of one’s gender or what one is wearing.”

Moviment Graffitti thanked all the speakers of the night as well as guest performers including Mary Santoro, Alexandra Alden, JOON and Tina Camilleri.
