A group of activists gathered in Triton Square to make a powerful statement ahead of the upcoming pro-choice rally on Saturday, September 30th.
Holding signs that read “I had an abortion,” these individuals aimed to shed light on the circumstances surrounding the topic of abortion in Malta while emphasising its prevalence despite being illegal.
The pro-choice rally is an annual event organised by the Voice for Choice coalition to commemorate International Safe Abortion Day on September 28th.
This year’s theme focuses on addressing the pervasive stigma that continues to affect Maltese society concerning abortion.
The Voice for Choice Coalition comprises 14 organisations dedicated to advocating for reproductive rights in Malta, including Academics for Choice, aditus foundation, Doctors for Choice, Grandparents for Choice, Integra Foundation, Lawyers for Choice, Malta Humanists Association, Men Against Violence, MGRM, Moviment Graffitti, Parents for Choice, Students for Choice, Women’s Rights Foundation, and Young Progressive Beings.
