SUMMARY:Verses for Choice
DESCRIPTION:As a member of the coalition Voice for Choice – L-għażla tagħha\, Moviment Graffitti is organizing an Open Mic at Maori bar where verses with the theme of freedom of choice and bodily autonomy will be read. Everyone is welcome to participate by reading poems\, prose\, personal stories\, songs or any writings and thoughts on the chosen theme of the importance of deciding on our own body. Both original and not-so-original readings are welcome. \nThis event aims to give a voice to individuals who would like to share their own experiences\, thoughts and sensitivities about the importance of having the choice to decide whether or not to continue with a pregnancy. We believe that in Malta\, reproductive health and rights need to be put on the political agenda\, to be discussed critically and maturely rather than remain a taboo. Occasions to speak about them are essential to overcome the present situation. \nThe activity starts at 7.00 pm to give us time to gather and have a drink. The readings will start at around 8.00pm. There will also be some finger food to share. \nBħala membru tal-koalizjoni Voice for Choice – L-għażla tagħha\, il-Moviment Graffitti se jorganizza Open Mic il-Maori fejn se jinqraw versi bit-tema tal-libertà tal-għażla u l-awtonomija fuq ġisimna. Kulħadd mistieden biex jipparteċipa billi jaqra poeżiji\, proża\, stejjer personali\, kanzunetti jew kitbiet u ħsibijiet oħrajn dwar it-tema magħżula tal-importanza li persuna tiddeċiedi hi dwar dak li għandu x’jaqsam ma’ ġisimha. Il-kitbiet jistgħu ikunu kemm oriġinali kif ukoll mhumiex. \nL-għan ta’ din l-attività huwa li tingħata vuċi lill-individwi li jixtiequ jaqsmu l-esperjenzi\, il-ħsibijiet u s-sensittivitajiet tagħhom dwar l-importanza li persuna jkollha l-għażla li tiddeċiedi jekk tkomplix bi tqala jew le. Nemmnu li f’Malta\, is-saħħa u d-drittijiet riproduttivi jeħtieġ li jitpoġġew fuq l-aġenda politika\, biex ikunu diskussi b’mod kritiku u b’maturità minflok ma jibqgħu taboo. Okkażjonijiet biex nitkellmu fuqhom huma essenzjali biex tingħeleb is-sitwazzjoni preżenti. \nL-attività tibda fis-7.00 pm biex nilħqu ninġabru u nixorbu xiħaġa. Il-qari jibda f’xit-8.00pm. Se jkun hemm ukoll ftit ikel x’innaqqru.

SUMMARY:Laying of flowers in memory of Lassana
DESCRIPTION:On the evening of the 6th April\, Lassana Cisse Souleymane was murdered in Hal Far. Two other men were also victims in this attack. \nLassana’s life mattered. He mattered to his family\, to his friends\, and he mattered to us. Such brutal acts of violence cannot and must not be ignored or silenced. \nTogether\, we remember Lassana Cisse Souleymane\, whose life was so callously taken away. \nWe stand in solidarity with our brothers and sisters who continue to experience violence\, who do not feel safe. \nWe stand in condemnation of racism and wanton acts of hatred. \nWe encourage everyone to come together to denounce this act of violence. \nWe call upon the Maltese Police Force to commit all necessary resources to bring the perpetrators to justice. \nWe call upon Maltese authorities to ensure that all members of Maltese society feel respected\, safe and protected. \nWe will be taking a stand together and laying flowers in memory of Lassana in Hal Far on Saturday\, 27th April at 11am. \nBreaking the chain of inhumanity\, creating a bond of solidarity\,\nShowing respect to the victims\, their families\,\nLaying down flowers of compassion. \nInclusion is an active word\,\nCompassion is an active word\,\nHumanity is an active word. \n******* \nFis-6 t’April filgħaxija\, Lassana Cisse Souleymane ġie maqtul f’Ħal Far. Żewġt irġiel oħra sfaw ukoll vittmi ta’ dan l-attakk. \nIl-ħajja ta’ Lassana kienet importanti ħafna. Hu kien ifisser ħafna għall-familja tiegħu\, għall-ħbieb tiegħu\, u kien ifisser ħafna għalina lkoll. Atti ta’ vjolenza brutali bħal dawn assolutament ma jistgħux jiġu injorati jew mitfugħa taħt it-tapit. \nFlimkien\, niftakru lil Lassana Cisse Souleymane\, li l-ħajja tiegħu ġiet meħuda għalxejn. \nNingħaqdu f’solidarjetà ma’ ħutna li jkomplu jesperjenzaw il-vjolenza u li ma jħossuhomx sikuri. \nNikkundannaw ir-razziżmu u l-atti ta’ mibegħda insensata. \nInħeġġu lil kulħadd biex ningħaqdu flimkien sabiex niddenunzjaw dan l-att ta’ vjolenza. \nInsejħu sabiex il-Korp tal-Pulizija ta’ Malta juża r-riżorsi kollha meħtieġa biex jittressqu l-qorti dawk li wettqu dan l-att. \nNistiednu lill-awtoritajiet Maltin biex jiżguraw li l-membri kollha tas-soċjetà Maltija jħossuhom rispettati\, siguri u protetti. \nAħna se nkunu miġbura flimkien f’Ħal Far biex inpoġġu l-fjuri għall-memorja ta’ Lassana\, nhar is-Sibt 27 ta’ April fil-11am. \nTitkisser il-katina tal-inumanità\, tinħoloq rabta ta’ solidarjetà\,\nJintwera rispett għall-vittmi\, u għall-familji tagħhom\,\nInpoġġu fjuri ta’ kompassjoni. \nL-inklużjoni hija kelma attiva\,\nIl-kompassjoni hija kelma attiva\,\nL-umanità hija kelma attiva.

The number on the line is equal to the number of storeys you have won. At the end of the five rounds\, the person holding the biggest number of storeys wins the big prize. \nBe like Silvio Debono and Joseph Portelli! Win Sulari upon Sulari with us and the Planning Authority! \nParticipation is free\, and the winner (no\, seriously this time) wins a Moviment Graffitti hoodie and tee – become the envy of your neighbourhood… no\, of all of Europe! \nPresented by C̵h̵a̵r̵l̵e̵s̵ ̵S̵a̵l̵i̵b̵a̵ ̵a̵n̵d̵ ̵J̵o̵h̵n̵ ̵D̵e̵m̵a̵n̵u̵e̵l̵e̵ Wayne Flask and Alex Caruana.

SUMMARY:Mistoqsijiet Dwar il-Mina – Konferenza Stampa
DESCRIPTION:Several organisations will hold a Press Conference to state that an informed discussion about the Malta-Gozo tunnel has yet to start. \nWhilst fully acknowledging the need to address mobility challenges experienced by Gozitan workers and students\, there is currently a total lack of studies and information on the utility and impacts of the tunnel. Indeed\, it has not even been established whether a tunnel will actually facilitate mobility between the two islands. \nThe organisations will state that a decision on whether a tunnel is the best solution to mobility challenges should only be taken after independent\, serious and holistic studies have been conducted. We will insist that the public has a right to participate in meaningful consultation\, and to be provided with information on this subject to develop an informed opinion. \nEveryone is welcome to join us in this Press Conference. \n************************* \nNumru ta’ għaqdiet se jagħmlu Konferenza Stampa sabiex jgħidu li diskussjoni infurmata dwar il-mina bejn Malta u Ghawdex għadha lanqas biss bdiet. \nFilwaqt li nagħrfu l-ħtieġa li jiġu ndirizzati d-diffikultajiet li għandhom ħaddiema u studenti Għawdxin biex jaqsmu lejn Malta u lura\, ninnutaw ukoll li bħalissa hemm nuqqas totali ta’ studji u informazzjoni dwar l-utilità u l-impatti tal-mina\, u għadu ma ġiex stabbilit li l-mina filfatt se tiffaċilita l-mobilita’ bejn iż-żewġ gżejjer. \nL-għaqdiet se jgħidu li d-deċiżjoni dwar jekk il-mina hijiex l-aħjar soluzzjoni għal dawn id-diffikultajiet fil-mobilità għandha tittieħed biss wara li jkunu saru studji indipendenti\, serji u li jaraw l-istampa kollha. Se ninsistu li l-pubbliku għandu dritt li jipparteċipa f’konsultazzjoni u li jkollu l-informazzjoni neċessarja dwar dan is-suġġett sabiex ikun jista’ jibni opinjoni infurmata. \nKulħadd huwa mistieden jingħaqad magħna f’din il-Konferenza Stampa.

SUMMARY:Screening of ‘Made in Dagenham’
DESCRIPTION:On the eve of International Women’s Day\, Moviment Graffitti invites you to the screening of the movie ‘Made in Dagehnam’\, followed by a discussion\, drinks and nibbles. \nEveryone is welcome. Free entry. \n‘Made in Dagenham’ is a 2010 British movie directed by Nigel Cole. The movie tells the true story of the Ford sewing machinists’ strike of 1968\, demanding equal pay for women. The protagonist\, a fictional character\, leads the 850 female workers of the East London plant to protest against sexual discrimination and for equal pay. The strike was successful and led to the Equal Pay Act  of 1970. \nUntil 1968\, the female machinists at Ford were classified within the company’s pay structure as grade B. That meant they were officially considered as unskilled\, despite having to pass tests in order to gain their employment. \nInternational Women’s Day – 8th March – marks women’s struggle for equality and against patriarchy. The origin of this day is rooted in Communist women’s groups in the beginning of the 20th century. Women from all around the world have fought and obtained better conditions in their lives\, on many levels. Still\, our society is rife with contradictions and inequality. Women’s work is still widely undervalued and unequal pay persists. Violence against women is a dramatic reality; in 2018\, four women were murdered in Malta by their partner or a close relative. Moreover\, we consider the present taboo on reproductive rights in Malta as undermining women’s freedom\, health and wellbeing. \nThe fight against patriarchy has to continue. \nWishing you a feminist International Women’s Day!

Please bring your ID Card with you as it is needed to access Parliament building. \nThis discussion is being held following a request by a large number of NGOs\, residents’ groups and three Local Councils for an urgent meeting of the Committee to discuss the imminent concession of title\, land and environmental rights to the Corinthia Group (IHI). They had stated that this concession will have repercussions on all stakeholders\, the public and the natural environment\, and that these repercussions will be direct and will contribute to their quality of life. \nMoreover\, they stated that the public has a right to know whether the necessary studies for such a massive development have been conducted and concluded. Although this is not a planning application\, the draft agreement with the Corinthia group refers to reclamation of the seabed and lists other factors which would effectively render the obtainment of a planning permission a fait accompli. \nThe request was made by the following: \n\nLocal Councils: Pembroke\, Swieqi and St. Julian’s\nNGOs: Din l-Art Ħelwa\, Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar\, Friends of the Earth Malta\, Moviment Graffitti\, BirdLife Malta\, Żminijietna – Voice of the Left and the Ramblers Association\nResidents’ Groups: Residents of Pembroke\, St. Julians\, Tal-Ibraġġ\, St. Andrews\, Sliema\, Għargħur and Baħar iċ-Cagħaq.\n\n—————————————————- \nNhar it-Tnejn 4 ta’ Frar\, fis-2pm\, se jiltaqa’ il-Kumitat Permanenti tal-Parlament responsabbli mill-Ambjent u l-Ippjanar tal-Iżvilupp sabiex jiddiskuti l-ftehim propost mal-Corinthia. \nInħeġġu lill-pubbliku jattendi għal din il-laqgħa. Jekk jogħġobkom ġibu magħkom il-Karta tal-Identità għax din hija meħtieġa biex tidħlu fil-bini tal-Parlament. \nDin il-laqgħa qed issir wara talba minn numru kbir ta’ għaqdiet\, gruppi tar-residenti u tliet Kunsilli Lokali għal laqgħa urġenti tal-Kumitat dwar il-konċessjoni imminenti ta’ drittijiet fuq l-art u l-ambjent lill-grupp Corinthia (IHI). Dawn qalu li din il-konċessjoni se jkollha riperkussjonijiet fuq il-partijiet interessati\, il-pubbliku u l-ambjent naturali\, u li dawn ir-riperkussjonijiet se jkunu diretti u se jimpattaw il-kwalità tal-ħajja. \nQalu wkoll li l-pubbliku għandu dritt ikun jaf jekk l-istudji meħtieġa għal żvilupp daqshekk massiċċ sarux u ġewx konklużi. Għalkemm din mhijiex applikazzjoni għal żvilupp\, l-abbozz tal-ftehim mal-Corinthia jirreferi għar-reklamazzjoni ta’ qiegħ il-baħar u fatturi oħra li\, fil-prattika\, jagħmlu l-kisba ta’ permess għall-iżvilupp bħala fait accompli. \nIt-talba saret minn: \n\nKunsilli Lokali: Pembroke\, Swieqi u San Ġiljan\nNGOs: Din l-Art Ħelwa\, Flimkien għal Ambjent Aħjar\, Friends of the Earth Malta\, Moviment Graffitti\, BirdLife Malta\, Żminijietna – Voice of the Left u Ramblers Association\nGruppi tar-residenti: Residenti ta’ Pembroke\, San Ġiljan\, St. Andrews\, Sliema\, Għargħur u Baħar iċ-Ċagħaq\n\n

SUMMARY:Screening of Vera Drake
DESCRIPTION:On International Safe Abortion Day the group 8th March 365 is proposing an activity to continue to discuss and rise awareness about women’s reproductive rights. We will screen the movie Vera Drake and we will give an overview about reproductive rights worldwide. \nVera Drake is a 2004 British film written and directed by Mike Leigh. Vera is a working-class woman who performs illegal abortions in London in 1950. The director incorporates in the movie elements of his own childhood\, moreover he shows differences between working-class women and upper-class women regarding abortion when it was illegal. The movie won the Golden Lion at the Venice Film Festival. \n28th September was first celebrated as a day of action for decriminalization of abortion in Latin America and The Caribbean in 1990. In 2011\, the Women’s Global Network for Reproductive Rights (WGNRR) declared the 28 September as International Safe Abortion Day.

SUMMARY:Meet the Sea Rescue NGOs
DESCRIPTION:Who are these NGOs? Who funds them? Are they really in cahoots with traffickers? Do they incentivise migrants to embark on such a perilous journey? What happens when rescue NGOs are no longer allowed to operate? \nMuch has been said in the past few months about the sea rescue of refugees leaving Libya in their bid to reach Europe. Standoffs between Italy\, Malta and other countries concerning the disembarkation of people saved at sea dominated news headlines\, and we have all seen the shocking images of dead bodies washed ashore on the Libyan coasts. \nAmidst all this\, a spotlight was shone on the NGOs saving people from rickety boats or dinghies. Currently\, many of the NGO vessels are docked in Malta and permission to leave the port is being denied by Maltese authorities. \nThe public will have the opportunity to ask questions to those directly involved in NGO rescue operations. Tamino Böhn from Sea Watch\, Neeske Beckmann from Lifeline and Markus Groda from Sea Eye will outline their work and answer your questions this Friday 10th August. \nMichael Grech\, a philosophy lecturer at the University of Malta (Junior College)\, will moderate the session.

SUMMARY:Palk Ħieles / Open Mic
DESCRIPTION:Inizjamed flimkien mal-Moviment Graffitti se torganizza Palk Ħieles ieħor nhar il-Ħamis\, 26 ta’ Lulju fit-8:00 ġewwa l-Maori fil-belt Valletta. Għal dan il-Palk Ħieles li jaħbat is-sitta u għoxrin wieħed se jkollna tema speċjali\, “In-nisa: vuċi għolja\, vuċi qawwija”. Ma jistax jonqos għalhekk li l-mistiedna speċjali tkun il-poetessa Maria Grech Ganado\, li kienet l-ewwel mara Maltija li nħatret full-time lecturer fl-Università ta’ Malta. Maria Grech Ganado twieldet Ħal Lija fl-1943 u għandha tlett itfal. Tikteb u ppublikat kemm bil-Malti u kemm bl-Ingliż\, u rebħet il-Premju Nazzjonali tal-Ktieb diversi drabi. Għadha kif ippublikat ġabra ta’ poeżiji bl-isem ta’ “Framed” permezz ta’ Merlin Publishers. Nafu fiċ-ċert li Maria Grech Ganado ma tridx tkun weħedha u għalhekk kulħadd huwa wkoll mistieden sabiex jaqra xi poeżija\, storja\, jagħmel xi stand-up\, jgħid xi ċajta\, ikanta kanzunetta oriġinali jew jesprimi dak li jħoss fuq it-tema. Jekk forsi ma tafux minn fejn tibdew\, għandkom tema ideali biex tixprunakom. Kull lingwa\, kull djalett\, kull aċċent huwa merħba bih. \n– – – – – \nOn Thursday\, 26th July\, Inizjamed together with Moviment Graffitti will be organising the 26th Open Mic at 8pm at Maori in Valletta. For this Open Mic\, together with a co-host we also have a theme\, “Women: say it loud\, say it proud”. It is only natural that as a special guest we have the special woman Maria Grech Ganado\, the first woman to be appointed as a full-time lecturer at the University of Malta. Maria Grech Ganado was born in Ħal Lija in 1943 and is a mother of three. She writes and has published in both Maltese and English. She has won the National Book Prize more than once. Recently she has published a collection of poems called ‘Framed’ through Merlin Publishers. Maria Grech Ganado does not want to be alone\, and the stage is open for everyone. You can read a poem\, a short story\, perform a stand-up\, tell a joke\, sing an original song\, the list is endless. If you’re unsure of what to write about\, the theme can be the perfect springboard. Every language\, every dialect\, every accent is more than welcome.

SUMMARY:Sea Bridge - Solidarity with Refugees at Sea and Ashore
DESCRIPTION:Civilian rescue vessels play an important role in saving lives of refugees in the Mediterranean: NGO vessels have rescued more than 120.000 lives in the Mediterranean since 2014. Lately\, political pressure from the EU has increased and led to the detention of rescue vessels in Italy and in Malta in an attempt to restrict immigration to Europe. This decision has led to a nearly complete absence of NGO rescue vessels in the search and rescue area and the death toll in June 2018 has been the highest in 2 years. Rescue vessels are needed urgently to prevent the loss of human lives! \nAs long as war\, conflicts\, inequality and poverty persist\, people will need to flee to safe places to protect their lives and build a future. When passing through Libya\, refugees are exposed to human rights abuses such as torture\, kidnapping\, forced labour and rape. Therefore\, rescue vessels need ports of safety in Europe where the lives and dignity of all will be protected. \nWe call on the EU and all European national governments to implement policies that protect human lives. We call for solidarity of all European countries to provide search and rescue and to shelter refugees from human rights abuses. \n

SUMMARY:Ports of Hope
DESCRIPTION:We feel the need to provide a space and opportunity to remember those who have lost their lives in their desperate effort to cross the Mediterranean Sea\, hoping to seek asylum\, to reach security and a better tomorrow. The horrific loss of life in the Mediterranean continues – somebody’s child\, parent\, brother\, sister\, friend\, spouse. Their lives mattered to their loved ones\, and they matter to us. Respect towards life and the innate dignity of each and every human being needs to remain central in political disputes and political discourse\, in the search of solutions for this human tragedy. \nThis ongoing tragedy must never be normalized. Death should not be an accepted side effect of seeking asylum. Europe must find solutions that honour life and not facilitate death. We know that there is no one solution\, but options for seeking asylum without loss of life must be found. \nWe will meet on Thursday evening (05.07)\, at Marsamxett Harbour\, Valletta (a little bit further up from Maori) at 1930hrs to remember those who have died\, to acknowledge those who continue to make the journey in their hope of seeking asylum in Europe\, and to send a message to those who enact deadly policies in our name: we will not turn away\, we are watching\, and we will hold you to account.

SUMMARY:Reżistenza Rock #2
DESCRIPTION:Join us in Moviment Graffitti’s second edition of Reżistenza Rock! Reżistenza Rock is a fundraising concert organised by Moviment Graffitti\, showcasing some of the best local alternative bands and musicians. DJ Zè Heckler will be spinning his selection before\, in-between and after the concert to keep you happy! \nSam Christie \nSam Christie played with quite a few bands such as Phobics and CEERA before deciding to go solo. He mostly writes folk/pop and is influenced by the likes of Nick Drake\, Elliot Smith and Bob Dylan. Check him out here. \nDouble Standard \nDOUBLE STANDARD is a punk/HC band that plays as fast as…! The guys\, all from different nationalities\, come together to deliver some brain-crushing stuff and legit primordial cosmology-inspired lyrics. Check out their latest cassette release entitled: DEMO-GOUGE TAPE \nPyramid Suns \nDelivered with fresh energy and indelibly shaped by prog and psychedelic elements\, Pyramid Sun’s song structures suggest a maturity that belies the band’s tender years. A blend of various elements melded together in a manner that flies in the face of convention\, theirs is a sound with plenty of rock edge. Their debut self-titled EP\, released in March 2016\, manages to both capture and project this edge through the engaging blend of solid rhythms and weaving grooves in the space of just three tracks. What is all the more special about Pyramid Suns is the pronounced retro vibe underpinning their grooves. \nWhy are Moviment Graffitti fundraising\, and what is done with the money collected? \nMoviment Graffitti (VO/0126) is an autonomous pressure group that has been active for over 24 years. In order to maintain our autonomy in practice\, we have always had a policy of not receiving funding from private companies or political parties. Thus\, Graffitti is entirely funded by supporters and individuals. \nWe have been on the forefront of several struggles for the protection of the environment\, social justice and human rights. To name just a few\, Graffitti protested the sale of the land that is now Portomaso and Smart City\, fought in campaigns to raise the minimum wage amongst many other worker struggles\, presented proposals for rent regulation in Malta\, was part of a Kamp Emerġenza Ambjent campaign which succeeded in gaining access to the foreshore at Manoel Island\, and has recently carried out a direct action at the PA concerning the approval of fuel stations on ODZ land. We also regularly host events such as talks and awareness-raising initiatives on issues related to social justice and environmental protection. All of this is done 100% voluntarily without pay. \nAll the money collected will be used for a lot of things. We have premises rents to pay\, banners and paints to buy\, sound systems to repair\, websites to maintain\, and a lot of tiny titbits that can add up to a lot of money over time. \nThanks in advance for your support!

SUMMARY:Not a Minute of Silence
DESCRIPTION:The working-group “Everyday 8th March”\, which forms part of Moviment Graffitti\, is holding an evening to remember Marielle Franco\, a Brazilian black woman\, mother and human and social rights’ activist who was killed on the 14th March this year. \nThree months after her death\, we will read some of Marielle Franco’s quotes\, give some information about her life and activism\, and read a document written by her partner after her assassination. We will also discuss intersectional feminism. The initiative will then continue with some feminist music. \nMarielle Franco was born and raised in Brazil\, in Complexo da Mare\, which has 130\,000 inhabitants in 16 favelas\, in the north of Rio de Janeiro. She presented numerous projects to strengthen women’s rights\, such as those concerning the accessibility of abortion. \nAfter getting involved in politics in 2007 to coordinate the state legislature’s Committee for the Defense of Human Rights and Citizenship\, she became a counselor in the Municipal Room of Rio de Janeiro with the coalition formed by the Socialist Party and Freedom and the Brazilian Communist Party in 2016. \nMarielle was an outspoken critic of police brutality\, extrajudicial killings and violations of human rights; she denounced the problems faced by African-American women and carried out investigations into murders that took place in favelas. \n“What is it to be a woman? What has each of us already failed to do or did with some level of difficulty because of gender identity\, because of the fact of “being a woman”? The question is not rhetorical\, it is objective\, it is to reflect on the day-to-day\, on the step-by-step of all the women\, on the majority of the population\, which unfortunately is under-represented”. \n“Being a black woman is resisting and surviving all the time…” (Marielle Franco).

SUMMARY:Screening of Obvious Child
DESCRIPTION:Moviment Graffitti is screening the movie ‘Obvious Child’\, a comedy-drama film written and directed by Gillian Robespierre (2014). \n‘Obvious Child’ looks at the story of Donna\, a twenty-something woman who ends up unexpectedly pregnant. She turns to her friends and family for advice\, and decides that the best decision for her is to get an abortion. The film follows Donna through the trials and tribulations of that decision. This is no tragic story\, however\, as these events are seen through Donna’s eyes\, who knows that\, ultimately\, this is the best decision for her. \nThe movie offers an unbiased look at the act of getting an abortion in the 21st century\, where it is freely accessible for women\, and all the highs and lows of life in between. \nThe film was premiered at the Sundance Film Festival on January 17\, 2014 \nThis movie screening will be followed by some food and drinks\, as well as a short information session intended to provide some factual information about access to abortion in Malta\, compared to the rest of the world.

SUMMARY:Understanding the Movement for Trans Rights
DESCRIPTION:Moviment Graffitti is organising a workshop entitled “Understanding the Movement for Trans Rights”. The workshop will be facilitated by Ruth Baldacchino\, Co-Secretary General of ILGA World. \nThe discourse on trans rights has recently become more visible\, however there are still gaps in understanding trans issues\, and it is clear we all have much to learn from the trans community / movement. \nThis workshop will discuss the following questions: What does it mean to be trans? What identities fall under the ‘trans umbrella’? What does trans history look like? \nIt will also shed light on the evolution of trans movements and focus on the history of trans identities and the organising that has grown out of the trans/queer movements and culture. \nIt will address transphobic\, cissexist and heterosexist language that is often used when discussing trans issues\, and discuss the needs and challenges of trans people in Malta. The discussion hopes to provide knowledge and tools that support trans people and community in Malta.
