Yesterday, Sunday, November 24th, Valletta’s streets became a platform for urgent calls to end violence against women as various activist groups and individuals, held a powerful demonstration in front of Malta’s courts.

This rally, timed ahead of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women, united participants under the theme Her Plight, Our Fight.

Activists expressed collective outrage at the pervasive culture of violence against women in Malta. Banners and placards carried bold messages, and speakers denounced the societal and systemic failings that perpetuate abuse.

A visual installation commemorated the 32 women murdered by male aggressors in Malta over recent decades.

Speakers highlighted the multifaceted nature of gender-based violence, from domestic abuse to public harassment, trafficking, and systemic neglect by institutions.

They criticised the justice system’s inefficiencies and the police’s failure to act decisively, citing long-standing cases like Sion Grech’s as examples of systemic failure.

The demonstrators vowed to continue the fight until homes, workplaces, and streets are safe for women, and society stands united against all forms of abuse.
