Destiny bags three prestigious Eurovision awards

May 15 2021

Destiny has scored an award hat-trick in Rotterdam, as she has just been awarded a prestigious Wiwibloggs award, created by the biggest Eurovision online portal. Before this, Destiny managed to win both in the OGAE poll and OutTV’s OutMusic Award, making Malta’s ambassador’s trip to Rotterdam a showering celebration of her talent and empowering message. Wiwibloggs Scoreboard is a poll created between all the bloggers whose Eurovision expertise ‘is second to none’. It is an honour for Destiny to follow in the footsteps of past winners of such awards, with the likes of Loreen, Duncan Laurence and Netta within these ranks.

Speaking about these awards, Destiny remarked that bagging these awards are great tokens and thanks OGAE International, OutTV, and Wiwibloggs. However, she still has plans to spread her wings and deliver a strong message. She stated she wants to empower women, celebrate her curves, and does not believe that ‘her worth is determined by the size of the clothes tag she wears.’

Ben Camille & Kristina shed light on work-life balance in new video

May 15 2021

Society’s ever-changing nature has dictated the norms and beliefs of work and family life for as long as we can remember but it doesn’t necessarily mean that they are correct.

In a video released earlier today by the Human Rights Directorate, Ben Camille & his wife Kristina took part in an exercise which highlights the pressure put on women in today’s environment and the benefits of balancing work-life responsibilities.

International Day of Families with Ben & Kristina

On International Day of Families, Ben Camille and Kristina explain the importance of partnerships of equals: Partnerships of joint sharing of responsibilities, mutual support in pursuit of personal goals, and that challenge traditional gender roles and stereotypes.🤜❤️🤛 Fil-Jum Internazzjonali tal-Familji, Ben Camille u Kristina jitkellmu dwar l-importanza tal-ugwaljanza fil-familja. Familji fejn ikun hemm qsim ta' responsabbiltajiet, appoġġ reċiproku fil-kisba ta' għanijiet personali, u li jisfidaw l-rwoli u l-isterjotipi tradizzjonali assoċjati mal-ġeneru.MaltaGov | riformi | Malta Daily | Ġustizzja

The video challenges the very-dated term of ‘Xogħol il-mara’ and attempts to highlight how much easier it is when couples work together to balance life’s challenges together.

Despite work being carried out daily on the importance of balancing life’s challenges, unfortunately many of today’s families adhere to the old-fashioned beliefs that a woman’s place is at home doing housework while the man is the breadwinner and we must unite to change this state of mind.

Malta no longer a COVID-19 high-risk area for the Netherlands and Denmark

May 15 2021

Both Denmark and Netherlands have placed Malta on their yellow travel list, which means that Danish and Dutch citizens can now travel to Malta without having to adhere to 15-day quarantines. Authorities of these respective countries have advised against non-essential travel to all other countries except Malta, following in Germany’s footsteps a few days ago.

Minister for Tourism and Consumer Protection Clayton Bartolo stated that the ‘Maltese government’s strategy of a strong vaccination roll out complimented with restrictive measures aimed at being was in a gradual manner are the main ingredients behind this sterling news.’

These changes in travel restrictions came as a surprise to many considering that the UK has left Malta off its green list for travel. But these changes still bode well for Malta’s tourism economy as the 1st June approaches.
