Press Conference - Government Bills Dismantling All Planning Safeguards
2025-07-28 18:30 - 19:30 | Parliament Square, Valletta City Gate, Valletta, Malta
We are announcing our first action to stop the Bills that will dismantle all environmental and planning safeguards.
On Monday 28th July at 6pm – as the second reading of the drafts will be taking place in Parliament – we will gather as a united front of organisations and individuals for a Press Conference in front of Parliament. During the Press Conference, we will explain to the public the gravity of the situation we are facing.
We know this is very short notice.
We know it’s the middle of summer.
But such a serious situation demands immediate action.
Join us and spread the word.
More information about the Bills can be found here.

Act NOW Against Genocide in Gaza
2025-07-29 18:30 - 20:30 | Parliament Square, Valletta City Gate, Valletta, Malta
On Tuesday 29th July at 6:30pm, we will gather at the Triton Fountain in Valletta and march to Castille Square to demand meaningful action by the Maltese Government against Israel’s mass starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.
Children, women, and men in Gaza are currently being starved to death. After 1 year and 10 months of genocidal mass murder of civilians – including the deliberate targeting of journalists, healthcare professionals, aid workers, and aid seekers – Israel is now intensifying its genocide through mass starvation.
Images of children dying from hunger, and of the elderly collapsing to their deaths while waiting in vain for food, should trigger the strongest reaction from any human being with even a shred of empathy!
It is therefore deeply hurtful and outrageous that Western governments continue either to proactively support the genocidal state of Israel or to take no meaningful action to stop the Israeli-imposed mass starvation of the Palestinian population in Gaza.
Regrettably, the Maltese Government is also failing abysmally to take the actions within its power to oppose this genocide.
In contrast with other European countries such as Ireland and Spain, it has consistently failed to condemn Israel’s genocide on the international stage, has reneged twice on its promise to recognise the State of Palestine, and continues to allow ships flying the Maltese flag to transport weapons and military material to Israel.
In view of this inaction and complicity, on Tuesday we will be calling for:

A strong and unambiguous stand by the Maltese Government condemning Israel and calling for its sanctioning, including the cancellation of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.
The prohibition of ships flying the Maltese flag from transporting weapons and military material to Israel, along with a clear and enforced policy preventing ships carrying such material from entering Maltese waters or being serviced by vessels from Malta.
The immediate recognition by the Government of Malta of the State of Palestine.

Placards Against Pinkwashing
2025-09-09 18:30 - 20:30 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us for a discussion on pinkwashing and a workshop on making placards!
On Tuesday 9th September, Moviment Graffitti is organising a queer placard making event. This activity is part of the events during Pride week and the placards can be used during the Pride March on Saturday. The activity will be held at our premises, 67 Strait Street, Valletta and will start at 6.30 p.m.
The theme of the event is pinkwashing which refers to the practice of using LGBTQ+ rights and symbols to hide or justify systems of oppression or injustice.
The activity will start with three short informal presentations about the three themes: The genocide in Palestine, LGBTIQ+ Migrants, and Business Corporations. There will be some time for questions, clarifications and discussion. The second part will be dedicated to making the placards on the three themes. We will provide the materials for the placards.
The aim of this event is to challenge the use of LGBTQ+ struggles as a branding tool for states and businesses that continue to perpetuate exploitation and oppression. Through the messages on the placards we make, we want to denounce pinkwashing, and to express genuine solidarity with Palestinians, migrants, and all oppressed communities beyond rainbow capitalism.
Please join us for this fun and informative event and bring your friends along!
Background: Israel has long promoted itself as a queer-friendly state to obscure its ongoing genocide and occupation of Palestinians as well as the harassment and bullying of Palestinian members of the LGBTIQ+ community. Similarly, multinational corporations use Pride symbolism to present themselves as queer friendly while continuing to profit from unethical practices, the exploitation of workers and policies which do not benefit members of the LGBTIQ+ community. In Malta, pinkwashing also intersects with the realities of migration: queer and trans migrants are often celebrated as symbols of diversity, yet in practice, many face detention, racism, and repatriation policies.

Safe Space Before Malta Pride 2025
2025-09-12 14:00 - 16:30 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
As in previous years, Moviment Graffitti will be participating in the Pride March on Saturday, 13th September. The March will start at around 5.00 pm.
Before the March, Moviment Graffitti will once again be opening its premises to provide a safe space for anyone who would like to come and have a drink with us and prepare for the March.
Those who would like to come and dress for the Pride, do their makeup, make placards (we have the materials), or meet others are welcome to come to our premises at 67 Strait Street, Valletta.
Just be yourself. No judgement. Just Pride!
The premises will be open between 2.00 pm and 4.30 pm.
We would love to meet you there! Come and bring others with you.
Please note that unfortunately our premises are located in an old Valletta building with steep steps. Therefore the space is not accessible for persons with serious mobility issues. We regret the inconvenience.
Note: The guest list for this event is not visible.

X'qed jigri f'Villa Rosa? Laqgħa ta' informazzjoni għar-residenti
2025-09-19 18:00 - 20:00 | BMX Warehouse, WFJC+MJ, Pembroke, Malta
It-tibdil propost fil-Pjan Lokali għas-sit ta’ Villa Rosa se jkollu impat enormi fuq il-lokalitajiet ta’ Pembroke, is-Swieqi, u San Ġiljan.
Skont il-pjan rivedut propost, jistgħu jitilgħu binjiet li jaslu sa 39 sular, flimkien ma’ żewġ torrijiet addizzjonali ta’ 22 sular li se jidfnu għalkollox il-Bajja ta’ San Ġorġ u jordmu lir-residenti tal-madwar. L-impronta tal-iżvilupp se tikber għal madwar 146,500 metru kwadru – intensifikazzjoni estrema li se tħalli impatt serju fuq il-komunitajiet fil-qrib u l-infrastruttura pubblika.
Qed inħeġġu lir-residenti ta’ dawn il-lokalitajiet biex jattendu laqgħa pubblika fejn ser nispjegaw x’qed jiġri fil-kwistjoni ta’ Villa Rosa, x’ħa jkunu l-impatti tat-tibdil fil-Pjan Lokali, u x’nistgħu nagħmlu dwarhom.

What’s happening at Villa Rosa? Information meeting for residents
The proposed changes to the Local Plan for the Villa Rosa site will have a huge impact on the localities of Pembroke, Swieqi, and St Julian’s.
According to the revised plan, buildings of up to 39 storeys could rise, alongside two additional towers of 22 storeys, which would completely bury St George’s Bay and suffocate nearby residents. The development footprint would expand to around 146,500 square metres — an extreme intensification with a devastating impact on nearby communities and public infrastructure.
We are urging the residents of these localities to attend a public meeting where we will explain what is happening regarding Villa Rosa, what the impacts of the changes to the Local Plan will be, and what we can do about them.

Abortion Rights Rally Malta 2025: L-Abort Mhuwiex Reat
2025-09-27 10:00 - 12:00 | Law Courts, VGX6+9RQ, Republic Street, Valletta, Malta
Mara oħra ġiet kriminalizzata talli għamlet abort f’Malta. Dan mhux aċċettabbli.
L-abort huwa kura tas-saħħa. L-abort huwa dritt uman. L-abort MHUWIEX reat.
Ir-rally ta’ din is-sena issejjaħ għall-ġustizzja – kemm għal mara f’dan il-każ, u anke għal kull persuna oħra li ġiet imġiegħla tiskot, tistħi, jew tibża’ minħabba l-liġijiet ta’ Malta. L-ebda mara m’għandha qatt tgħaddi minn investigazzjoni tal-pulizija, awla tal-qorti, jew akkużi kriminali miġjuba kontriha talli ħadet deċiżjoni dwar ħajjitha stess.
Post: Quddiem il-Qorti, il-BeltData u Ħin: 27/09/2025 fl-10 am
Ningħaqdu għax:

L-abort GĦANDU jiġi dekriminalizzat. X’qed nistennew?!
Il-professjonisti tal-kura tas-saħħa u soċjali għandhom jipprovdu kura mingħajr biża’, mhux jaġixxu bħala pulizija.
Nisa li għamlu abort jistħoqqilhom kompassjoni. M’intomx waħedkom.

Aħna qegħdin ningħaqdu f’solidarjetà man-nisa li kellhom jgħaddu minn dawn il-każijiet. Malta fallietkom.
Ġibu l-kartelli tagħkom, il-vuċijiet tagħkom, u l-kuraġġ tagħkom. Ejjew nimlew it-toroq b’messaġġ wieħed ċar u tond: L-Abort Mhuwiex Reat.
Kulħadd huwa mistieden – din il-ġlieda hija għal kulħadd.
******
Yet another woman has been criminalised for an abortion in Malta. This is unacceptable.
Abortion is healthcare. Abortion is a human right. Abortion is NOT a crime.
This year’s rally is a call for justice – for the woman in this case, and for every person who has been forced into silence, shame, or fear because of Malta’s laws. No one should ever face a police investigation, a courtroom, or criminal charges for making decisions about their own life.
Location: In front of the courts, VallettaDate & Time: 27/09/2025 at 10 am
We rally because:

Abortion MUST be decriminalised. What are we waiting for?!
Healthcare & social care professionals should provide care without fear, not act as police.
People who have had abortions deserve compassion. You are not alone.

We stand in solidarity with the women in these cases. Malta has failed you.
Bring your placards, your voices, and your courage. Let’s fill the streets with one message loud and clear: Abortion is Not a Crime.
Everyone is welcome – this fight is for all of us.

Ġustizzja għal Artna: Irtirawhom Issa! - KONFERENZA STAMPA
2025-09-29 18:00 - 19:30 | Planning Authority, St Francis Ravelin, Floriana, Malta
Nhar it-Tnejn, 29 ta’ Settembru fis-6pm, se niltaqgħu quddiem l-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar sabiex nispjegaw ir-raġunijiet għaliex qed insejħu għal protesta nazzjonali nhar is-Sibt 4 ta’ Ottubru, u t-talbiet urġenti tagħna quddiem sitwazzjoni gravi ħafna.
F’Lulju li għadda, il-Gvern ippreżenta żewġ liġijiet li se jneħħu s-salvagwardji kollha li għandna fil-qasam tal-ippjanar. Wara ftit ġimgħat, ġiet ukoll ippubblikata l-proposta ta’ tliet avviżi legali li se jagħtu amnestija lil kull tip ta’ illegalità madwar Malta u Għawdex, mingħajr lanqas biss limitu fuq daqs, skop jew post.
Minkejja li l-poplu rnexxielu jwaqqaf lill-Gvern milli jgħaddi dawn il-liġijiet inkiss inkiss f’nofs is-sajf, dawn għadhom hemm, u nafu li l-Gvern se jipprova jsib l-ewwel opportunità biex jgħaddihom.
Għalhekk, qed inħeġġukom tattendu għall-Konferenza Stampa ta’ nhar it-Tnejn fejn se nuru kemm it-theddida għalina, għal pajjiżna, u għal uliedna hija kbira u teħtieġ ir-reżistenza kollettiva tal-poplu biex flimkien inwaqqfu dan il-kolp ta’ stat mill-iżviluppaturi.

******
On Monday, 29th September at 6pm, we will gather in front of the Planning Authority to explain the reasons why we are calling the national protest on Saturday, 4th October, and to present our urgent demands in the face of a very serious situation.
Last July, the Government presented two laws that would remove all safeguards in the planning sector. A few weeks later, a proposal for three legal notices was also published, which would grant amnesty to all forms of illegalities across Malta and Gozo, without any limits on size, type, or location.
Although the people managed to stop the Government from passing these laws by stealth in the middle of summer, they are still on the table, and we know that the Government will try to seize the first opportunity to pass them.
This is why we are urging you to attend Monday’s press conference, where we will show just how great the threat is – to us, to our country, and to our children – and how it demands the collective resistance of the people to stop this developers’ coup from being carried out.
Spread the word.
Ġustizzja għal Artna: Kill the Bills!

Ġustizzja għal Artna: Iritrawhom Issa! - PROTESTA NAZZJONALI
2025-10-04 10:00 - 13:00 | Law Courts, VGX6+9RQ, Republic Street, Valletta, Malta
A national protest, Ġustizzja għal Artna: Irtirawhom Issa!, is being called for Saturday 4th October at 10am in response to the total assault on our environment and quality of life being pushed through under the guise of a planning “reform”.
The need for action is urgent and dire. Government is intent on forcing through two planning bills and three legal notices that will dismantle existing safeguards, place serious obstacles to effective public appeals, and regularise all kinds of illegalities across the country.
If this legal package is approved, Malta and Gozo will be ruled entirely by the wishes of developers, while the common people will be left under siege from harmful development permitted without even today’s minimal regulatory controls and scrutiny.
This is a grave threat to our country, and only the people’s resistance can fend it off.
Our demands are:

The immediate withdrawal of the draft bills and legal notices. Consultation cannot take place on legislation that is fundamentally flawed, malicious in intent, and beyond repair.
The urgent introduction of a measure suspending works on developments approved by the Planning Authority while an appeal is ongoing, through an amendment to existing law.
The publication of a White Paper to launch a genuine consultation on the broader planning reforms Malta truly needs.

People will gather at the Law Courts at 10am and march to Castille, where speeches will take place.
The national protest is the first action announced as part of the Ġustizzja għal Artna campaign launched last week. Groups across Malta and Gozo, both formal and informal, are invited to join the protest and the campaign by emailing info@gustizzjartna.org.
More information about the campaign and its demands can be found at www.gustizzjartna.org.

Se ssir protesta nazzjonali, Ġustizzja għal Artna: Irtirawhom Issa!, nhar is-Sibt 4 ta’ Ottubru fl-10am bħala reazzjoni għall-attakk totali fuq l-ambjent u l-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħna, li qed jiġi ppreżentat bħala taparsi “riforma” tal-ippjanar.
Il-ħtieġa għall-azzjoni hija urġenti u serja. Il-Gvern jinsab determinat li jmexxi ’l quddiem żewġ abbozzi ta’ liġi dwar l-ippjanar, u tliet avviżi legali, li se jeqirdu l-protezzjonijiet eżistenti, joħolqu ostakli serji għall-appelli effettivi mill-pubbliku, u jirregolarizzaw kull tip ta’ illegalitajiet madwar il-pajjiż.
Jekk dan il-pakkett legali jiġi approvat, Malta u Għawdex se jkunu mmexxija kompletament mir-rieda tal-iżviluppaturi, filwaqt li n-nies komuni jispiċċaw taħt assedju minn żvilupp ta’ ħsara li se jkun permess saħansitra mingħajr il-kontroll u l-iskrutinju minimu li jeżisti llum.
Din hija theddida gravi għal pajjiżna, u hija biss ir-reżistenza tal-poplu li tista’ twaqqafha.
It-talbiet tagħna huma:

L-irtirar immedjat tal-abbozzi ta’ liġi u l-avviżi legali. Ma tistax issir konsultazzjoni dwar leġiżlazzjoni li hija fundamentalment difettuża, malizzjuża fl-intenzjoni tagħha, u li ma tistax tissewwa.
L-introduzzjoni urġenti ta’ miżura li tissospendi x-xogħlijiet ta’ żviluppi approvati mill-Awtorità tal-Ippjanar waqt li jkun għaddej appell, permezz ta’ emenda għal-liġi eżistenti.
Il-pubblikazzjoni ta’ White Paper biex titnieda konsultazzjoni ġenwina dwar ir-riformi usa’ tal-ippjanar li Malta verament teħtieġ.

In-nies se jinġabru quddiem il-Qorti fl-10am u jimxu lejn Kastilja, fejn se jsiru xi diskorsi.
Il-protesta nazzjonali hija l-ewwel azzjoni mħabbra bħala parti mill-kampanja Ġustizzja għal Artna li ġiet imnedija l-ġimgħa li għaddiet. Gruppi madwar Malta u Għawdex, kemm formali kif ukoll informali, huma mistiedna jissieħbu fil-protesta u fil-kampanja billi jibagħtu email fuq info@gustizzjartna.org.
Aktar tagħrif dwar il-kampanja u t-talbiet tagħha jinsab fuq www.gustizzjartna.org.

Il-kampanja Ġustizzja għal Artna qed issejjaħ lin-nies biex jerġgħu jingħaqdu fi protesta t-Tnejn, is-27 ta’ Ottubru. Il-protesta se tibda fil-5.30pm minn quddiem il-Qorti u tibqa’ miexja lejn il-Parlament.
Ripetutament stqarrejna li nippreferu npoġġu madwar mejda u niddiskutu r-riformi urġenti li pajjiżna għandu bżonn fil-qasam tal-ambjent u l-ippjanar. Madankollu, minkejja l-għajta tal-poplu għal ġustizzja — inklużi dawk l-eluf li s-Sibt, 4 ta’ Ottubru ħarġu jipprotestaw fit-toroq tal-Belt — il-Prim Ministru Robert Abela qed jibqa’ jirrifjuta li jisma’ lill-poplu.
L-hekk imsejħa “riforma” tal-ippjanar hija mannara mdendla fuq għonq in-nies. Il-fatt li din il-protesta se taħbat mal-jum li fih jiġi ppreżentat il-Baġit mhuwiex kumbinazzjoni. Il-messaġġ tagħna huwa ċar: dan mhuwiex ‘business as usual’.
Iż-żewġ abbozzi tal-ippjanar u t-tliet avviżi legali jippreżentaw theddida imminenti għall-postijiet li huma l-aktar għal qalbna, għall-komunitajiet tagħna, għall-ġustizzja soċjali, u għad-demokrazija.
Se jżarmaw is-salvagwardji eżistenti kollha kontra l-iżvilupp bla rażan billi jneħħu s-saħħa effettiva tar-regolamenti tal-ippjanar u jagħtu kontroll assolut lill-Awtorità korrotta tal-Ippjanar.
Id-dritt tal-pubbliku li jappella deċiżjonijiet illegali b’mod effettiv se jiġi severament limitat, u l-Qorti se titlef is-setgħa tagħha li tirrevoka permessi illegali.
L-avviżi legali se jagħtu amnestija totali għal kull xorta ta’ illegalità li saret sas-sena l-oħra, b’ebda limitu fuq it-tip, id-daqs jew il-post li fih saret.
Nemmnu bis-sħiħ li n-nies għandhom is-saħħa li jwaqqfu dan l-attakk fuq il-kwalità tal-ħajja tagħhom. Għalhekk qed nerġgħu nsejħu lill-pubbliku biex insaħħu din il-ġlieda kontra l-bullies ta’ dan il-pajjiż — dawk li jemmnu li l-flus jagħtuhom id-dritt li jirfsu fuq iċ-ċittadini komuni.
It-Tnejn 27 ta’ Ottubru, se nerġgħu nuruhom li aħna mhux se naċċettaw li ngħixu taħt il-ħakma tal-iżviluppaturi.
Flimkien, inwaqqfuhom!

The Ġustizzja għal Artna campaign is calling on the people to join a protest on Monday 27th October. The protest will start at 5:30pm from the Law Courts and move towards Parliament.
We have repeatedly stated that we would much rather sit around a table to discuss the urgent planning and environmental reforms our country needs. However, despite the people’s cry for justice, including the thousands who took to the streets on Saturday 4th October, Prime Minister Robert Abela continues to refuse to listen.
This so-called planning reform is a Damocles’ sword hanging over the people’s heads. It is no coincidence that this protest will coincide with the presentation of the annual Budget. Our message is clear: this is not business as usual.
The two planning bills and three legal notices pose an imminent threat to our most cherished places, our communities, social justice, and democracy.
They would dismantle all existing protections against unbridled construction by rendering planning regulations ineffective and placing full control in the hands of the corrupt Planning Authority.
They would also severely undermine the public’s right to effectively appeal illegal decisions, and strip the Court of its power to revoke illegal permits.
Additionally, the legal notices would grant a blanket amnesty for all sorts of illegalities committed up to last year, with no limits on type, size, or location.
We strongly believe that the people have the power to stop this assault on their quality of life and are the last lines of defence against the greed of developers. Thus, we call on the public to intensify this fight against the bullies of this country – those who believe that money gives them the right to trample over the common citizen.
On Monday 27th October, we’ll show once again that we refuse to live under the reign of developers.
Together, we’ll stop them!

Film Screening: Women Talking
2025-11-06 18:30 - 21:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us Thursday 6th November for the Film Screening: Women Talking
The 2022 film, directed by Sarah Polley, is a powerful adaptation of Miriam Toews’ novel inspired by true events. It tells the story of a group of women in an isolated religious colony as they grapple with the aftermath of sexual violence, and come together to decide their future, their faith, and their freedom.
Women Talking is a moving reflection on gender-based violence, solidarity, and the collective courage it takes to resist oppression – themes that remain painfully relevant today.
This screening forms part of the lead-up to the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women on 25th November, a global day of action and awareness.
The screening will be followed by an open discussion, and entrance is free.
Thursday 6th November at 6:30pm, at Moviment Graffitti premises (67 Strait Street, Valletta)
Accessibility: Please note that the venue has stairs.

Screening of C'è Ancora Domani
2025-11-20 18:00 - 20:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Join us on Thursday 20th November for the screening of this beautiful 2023 film C’è Ancora Domani, by Paola Cortellesi which is being co-organised by Moviment Graffitti in collaboration with the Department of Gender and Sexualities of the University of Malta.
The film will start at 6.00 p.m. at Moviment Graffitti’s premises (67 Strait Street, Valletta).
The story takes place in post war Rome, in May 1946. Italian families are struggling with the afterwar poverty, the country is waiting to choose between remaining a monarchy or becoming a republic and to vote for the election of the Constituent Assembly. Women are voting for the very first time. In this movie, we follow the everyday life of Delia, a working-class woman, mother of three children and wife of Ivano. Her life is not easy .Between many jobs to earn some money, she faces the physical and verbal abuse of her husband and strives to give her daughter a better future. The movie shows a reality that seems far away from us, but as we all know systemic violence against women is still present in many different shapes.
This activity is being organised to mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence Against Women which falls on the 25th November. The Screening will be followed by an open discussion introduced by Professor Marceline Naudi.
The event is free of charge.

One Voice Against Patriarchal Violence

To mark the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, Moviment Graffitti invites the public to a demonstration on Sunday 23rd November at 4pm in front of Law Courts, Valletta.

We want to give visibility to the violence, physical and psychological, happening inside houses, behind closed doors, in workplaces, in schools, and in other institutions. We want to remember the victims of all the femicides that happened in the past years in Malta, and to say their names.

Vuċi Waħda Kontra l-Vjolenza Patrijarkali
Biex infakkru l-Jum Internazzjonali għall-Eliminazzjoni tal-Vjolenza kontra n-Nisa, il-Moviment Graffitti qed jistieden lill-pubbliku għal dimostrazzjoni nhar il-Ħadd 23 ta’ Novembru fl-4.00 ta’ waranofsinhar quddiem il-Qorti fil-Belt Valletta.
Irridu nenfasizzaw il-kultura tal-vjolenza verbali li tinxtered fis-soċjetà tagħna ta’ kuljum — mill-kummenti ta’ mibegħda u sessisti fuq il-midja soċjali, sal-“cat calling” u l-insulti li jnaqqsu d-dinjità tan-nisa. Irridu nagħtu viżibilità lill-vjolenza, kemm fiżika kif ukoll psikoloġika, li qed isseħħ ġewwa d-djar, wara bibien magħluqa, fil-postijiet tax-xogħol, fl-iskejjel u f’istituzzjonijiet oħra. Irridu nfakkru lill-vittmi tal-femmiċidji kollha li seħħew f’dawn l-aħħar snin f’Malta, u ngħidu isimhom.
Nistednu lill-pubbliku biex jingħaqad magħna fil-ġlieda komuni kontra l-vjolenza patrijarkali u biex flimkien nissaħħu u nġibu l-bidla. Ejjew bil-kartelluni u b’leħinkom għoli, biex inkunu leħen wieħed, qawwi u magħqud kontra l-vjolenza patrijarkali!

Tour Ġustizzja għal Artna - Birżebbuġa
2025-11-30 09:30 - 12:00 | Misraħ il-Knisja, Birżebbuġa, Birżebbuġa Parish Church, Birżebbuġa, Malta
L-ewwel waqfa tat-Tour Ġustizzja għal Artna ser tkun ġewwa l-pjazza ta’ Birżebbuġa, nhar il-Ħadd 30 ta’ Novembru, mid-9.30am sa nofsinhar.
Flimkien mal-Għaqda Storja u Kultura Birżebbuġa, ser ikollna stand b’informazzjoni dwar il-pakkett ta’ liġijiet fl-ippjanar li, jekk jgħaddi mill-Parlament, se jwassal għal ħerba ambjentali u soċjali bla preċedent. L-abbozzi ta’ liġi u l-avviżi legali ppreżentati mill-Gvern qed ifittxu li jżarmaw il-protezzjonijiet kollha li jeżistu sabiex jagħtu poter bla qies lill-iżviluppaturi.
Inħeġġukom iżżuru l-istand tagħna ħalli jkollna l-opportunità nitkellmu magħkom dwar l-impatt ta’ dawn il-liġijiet tal-biża’, fuq Malta inġenerali u fuq il-lokalità ta’ Birżebbuġa b’mod partikolari, kif ukoll sabiex tgħaddulna l-kummenti u s-suġġerimenti tagħkom.
Narawkom!
*****
The first stop of the Tour Ġustizzja għal Artna will be in the Birżebbuġa square, on Sunday 30th November, from 9:30am until noon.
Together with Għaqda Storja u Kultura Birżebbuġa, we will have a stand with information about the planning laws which, if enacted by Parliament, will lead to unprecedented environmental and social destruction. The draft laws and legal notices presented by the Government seek to dismantle all existing protections in order to grant developers unlimited power.
We encourage you to visit our stand so that we may have the opportunity to speak with you about the impact of these alarming laws on Malta in general and on the locality of Birżebbuġa in particular, as well as to receive your comments and suggestions.
See you there!

World AIDS Day: Silence = Death
2025-11-30 14:30 - 16:00 | Parliament Square, Valletta City Gate, Valletta, Malta
This Sunday, 30th November at 2.30 pm at Freedom Square in front of Parliament, a coalition of organisations will be marking World AIDS day which falls on Monday with a silent protest. We will meet in front of parliament to protest against the indifference, the silence, the stigma and the misconceptions that still surround living with HIV. We will protest silently with red cloths/ribbons on our mouths, eyes or ears to symbolise the silence surrounding HIV and the Government’s silence and inaction regarding the promise of free PrEP and PEP, which are essential medications in stemming the tide of new HIV diagnoses, continues to harm at risk communities. The silence is deafening. This needs to stop.
Join us on Sunday, bring your placards and your red cloths and ribbons to raise awareness about HIV silence, stigma and inaction. We ask people to wear red material around their mouths, eyes and/or ears, to show that just because one ignores HIV, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist.
In Malta, HIV is now a chronic manageable condition and not the death sentence it once was, however there are still issues that negatively impact the lives of people living with HIV and those around them. People living with HIV often carry the burden on their own because the huge stigma keeps them from sharing their status with others. Therefore, they lack the necessary support structures that would help them cope better with HIV. There are still many misconceptions about HIV, even though today, HIV medication suppresses the virus to the point that it cannot be transmitted to others, what we call U=U, Undetectable = Untransmittable.
HIV healthcare has improved greatly. However, there is still much that needs to be done. HIV medication is not accessible to everyone, due to issues with their residency status, and the government has still to deliver on its promise to invest in free HIV prevention medication such as PrEP and PEP. This has now become urgent, especially considering that Malta has one of the highest rates of HIV diagnoses in Europe.

Il-Jum Dinji tal-AIDS: Silenzju = Mewt
Nhar il-Ħadd, 30 ta’ Novembru fis-2.30 pm f’Misraħ il-Ħelsien quddiem il-Parlament, koalizzjoni ta’ organizzazzjonijiet se tkun qed tfakkar il-Jum dinji tal-AIDS, li jaħbat it-Tnejn, bi protesta siekta. Se niltaqgħu quddiem il-Parlament biex nipprotestaw kontra l-indifferenza, is-skiet, l-istigma u l-ideat żbaljati li għadhom marbuta mal-HIV. Se nipprotestaw b’mod sieket b’biċċiet jew żigarelli ħomor jgħattulna ħalqna, għajnejna jew widnejna bħala simbolu tas-skiet li jikkaratterizza l-HIV u s-silenzju u n-nuqqas ta’ azzjoni tal-Gvern dwar il-wegħda tiegħu li jipprovdi PrEP u PEP b’xejn—mediċini essenzjali biex jitwaqqaf it-tixrid ta’ każi ġodda tal-HIV—li l-assenza tagħhom tkompli tagħmel ħsara lill-komunitajiet li jinsabu f’riskju. Hawn skiet itarrax. Hemm bżonn li nwaqqfuh.
Ingħaqdu magħna nhar il-Ħadd waranofsinhar; ġibu magħkom il-kartelluni u l-biċċiet u l-faxex ħomor biex inżidu l-għarfien dwar is-skiet, l-istigma u n-nuqqas ta’ azzjoni dwar l-HIV. Nitolbu lin-nies jilbsu faxex jew żigarelli ħomor fuq ħalqhom, għajnejhom u/jew widnejhom biex nuru li għalkemm l-HIV qed tiġi njorata ma jfissirx li ma teżistix.
F’Malta, l-HIV illum hija kundizzjoni kronika li tista’ tiġi kkontrollata u mhux is-sentenza tal-mewt li kienet darba, iżda għad hemm kwistjonijiet li jaffettwaw b’mod negattiv il-ħajja tan-nies li jgħixu bl-HIV u ta’ dawk ta’ madwarhom. Persuni li jgħixu bl-HIV spiss iġorru l-piż waħedhom minħabba l-istigma kbira li żżommhom milli jaqsmu l-istatus tagħhom ma’ ħaddieħor. Għaldaqstant, ma jkollhomx l-appoġġ meħtieġ li jgħinhom jinnavigaw l-HIV aħjar. Għad hemm ħafna ideat żbaljati dwar l-HIV, minkejja li llum il-mediċina tal-HIV tirrippressa l-virus sal-punt li ma jistax jiġi trażmess lil ħaddieħor—dak li nsejħulu U=U, Undetectable = UntransmittableIl-kura tal-HIV tjiebet b’mod sinifikanti. Iżda għad hemm ħafna xi jsir. Il-mediċina tal-HIV mhijiex aċċessibbli għal kulħadd minħabba kwistjonijiet relatati mal-permess tar-residenza, u l-Gvern għadu ma wettaqx il-wegħda tiegħu li jinvesti f’mediċini ta’ prevenzjoni tal-HIV b’xejn bħal PrEP u PEP. Dan issa sar urġenti, speċjalment meta wieħed iqis li Malta għandha waħda mill-ogħla rati ta’ dijanjosi tal-HIV fl-Ewropa.

Film Screening: No Other Land
2025-12-05 19:00 - 21:00 | Moviment Graffitti Premises, 67, Strait Street, Valletta, Malta
Film Screening: No Other Land
Introduced by the testimony of Suheir T. from the West Bank
On Friday 5 December, we will meet at the Moviment Graffitti premises at 67 Strait Street, Valletta, for the screening of the film No Other Land. The film offers a direct testimony of the challenges faced by Palestinians living in Masafer Yatta in the South Hebron Hills of the occupied West Bank.
Through the lens of a unique filmmaking collective, it documents the relentless struggle of Palestinian communities facing systematic harassment, home demolitions, and violent displacement by Israeli forces. More than just a chronicle of loss, No Other Land is a profound story of sumud (steadfastness) and a testament to the human spirit’s resilience in the face of erasure, capturing both the brutality of occupation and the bonds of solidarity that form in its shadow.
The event will be introduced by a testimony from Suheir T., who will share her account from Palestine. Suheir is the mental-health adviser for an organisation that provides mental-health and health services to Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip.
While the world’s attention may drift with headlines about ceasefires in Gaza, this film and the testimonies coming from Palestine compel us to confront a different, ongoing reality. The violence of displacement is a daily, grinding experience for Palestinians living under occupation, particularly in Area C of the West Bank, which is under full Israeli military control. Communities are forcibly displaced while facing daily settler and military harassment, and their homes and schools are bulldozed, scattering families into the desert.
These are not isolated events but part of a systematic pattern to ethnically cleanse the West Bank and Gaza of their Palestinian populations. In this context, as an act of awareness, by bearing witness to these stories we move beyond the headlines to understand the human cost of this conflict.
Indeed, it is through this understanding that meaningful advocacy can be built — advocacy that insists there can be no peace without justice, and no justice without a Palestine free from the river to the sea.
