Yazmin Helledie Opens Up About Miscarriage In Keynote
Apr 14 2025 Share

Yazmin Helledie delivered a heartfelt keynote speech at the Miscarriage Leave Conference yesterday, marking the official start of Malta’s national consultation on Miscarriage Leave.

Yazmin spoke about the excitement that the first few weeks brought her as she and Keith expected the new member to their family, the intense sorrow she felt after she got the message of the loss and how she, with the help of her loved ones, navigated this tumultuous time.

“From the heart”, wrote Yasmin as she shared her speech to social media.

Addressing Parliamentary Secretary for Social Dialogue Dr. Andy Ellul, members of Parliament, professionals, the press, and others who have experienced pregnancy loss, Helledie described it as “an honour” to speak at such a significant event.

The consultation process, led by Dr. Ellul, brought together voices from across society—including medical professionals, psychologists, trade unions, employers, and individuals with lived experience of miscarriage. The aim is to develop a responsible and inclusive policy.

Although official data reports around 300 miscarriages annually in Malta, estimates suggest the real number may be closer to 1,000 due to underreporting.

Announced on International Women’s Day, the initiative seeks to strengthen workers’ rights. Dr. Ellul confirmed that the government will cover all financial costs related to the leave’s implementation.

Further discussions will explore its scope—including whether it should extend to partners or apply in same-sex relationships—and issues surrounding disclosure and privacy in the workplace.
