From 25th November to 10th December 2025, women and allies around the world will unite for the 16 Days of Activism to End Gender-Based Violence, under this year’s powerful theme: UNiTE to End Digital Violence against All Women and Girls Violence against women remains one of the most widespread human rights violations, affecting one in three women worldwide.

Over recent months, more Maltese residents have been sharing experiences of persistent itching, rashes, and other symptoms that resemble scabies. Yet, despite these growing personal reports, there has been little recent mention of scabies in local media or official public-health updates. According to a web search conducted in early November 2025, the last substantial Maltese coverage dates back to early 2024, but since then, no new alerts or national updates appear to have been issued. This absence of recent communication raises important questions about public awareness, particularly as Malta continues to face housing pressures and shared-accommodation challenges that may increase opportunities for such skin infestationsRead More…

Thank you both for joining us! So firstly we’d like to turn to you Mrs. Rodrigues. What exactly is labiaplasty, and what are the most common reasons women seek it? Mrs. Rodrigues: Labiaplasty is an intimate procedure that many women are curious about but may feel uncomfortable discussing openly. It involves surgically reducing the size of the labia minora – the inner folds of skin on either side of the vaginal opening. While often assumed to be purely cosmetic, labiaplasty can address a range of physical and emotional concerns. Most women seek advice about this procedure because of physical discomfort in the area. If theRead More…

Malta’s birth rate is now the lowest in Europe, and that’s worrying not just for policymakers, but for all of us thinking about our families’ futures. Fewer babies mean fewer young people to sustain the country’s economy and care systems in the years ahead. During his Budget 2026 speech, Finance Minister Clyde Caruana announced a significant tax cut for families with two or more children, hoping to make family life a little easier, and perhaps, encourage couples to grow their families. But let’s be honest: when it comes to taxes, many of us find the numbers confusing or hard to follow. To make sense ofRead More…

Women today are standing tall: independent, confident, and self-sufficient. We work hard, make our own choices, and build lives that reflect our strength and resilience. We don’t need a man to complete us, but that doesn’t mean we don’t want one. Because even the strongest women still desire genuine connection. Not lust, not power games, not empty promises, but love that feels safe, honest, and steady. A love built on mutual respect. That kind of love comes from an evolved masculine – a man who leads with integrity, maturity, and heart. 1. The Evolved Masculine Is Emotionally Mature and Grounded The evolved masculine isn’t afraidRead More…

Malta currently has the lowest total fertility rate in the European Union…a figure that raises important questions about our country’s future. But fertility isn’t just about numbers; it’s about women’s lives, choices, and the support systems around them. Across the world, countries are searching for ways to encourage family growth without compromising women’s independence or wellbeing. From financial incentives to workplace reforms, these global examples show that the path forward lies not in pressure, but in empowerment: creating environments where women and families can thrive. 1.

In 2023, the lowest total fertility rate in Europe was recorded in Malta, at 1.06 live births per woman. This alarmingly low Malta birth rate has become a growing concern for both government and opposition. The Nationalist Party has proposed introducing a new “Parent 2” tax band for families with more than one child, which would leave each family around €8,500 better off per year. The measure aims to ease the financial pressures of raising children and encourage couples to have larger families. PN leader Alex Borg has also called for paid parental leave to be extended to a full year across all sectors, echoingRead More…

Yesterday, Malta was shaken by unimaginable tragedy: a one-year-old baby lost his life after being forgotten in a car parked at Mater Dei Hospital. As news spread, so did an avalanche of online comments. Some expressed sorrow, but far too many turned to anger and blame. Words like “how could she?” and “I’d never do that” flooded the internet as though outrage could somehow ease the pain of a mother who will live with this heartbreak for the rest of her life. But on this World Mental Health Day, perhaps we should pause. Not to defend, not to justify, but to understand. We live inRead More…

When tragedy strikes and someone takes their own life, a wave of uncertainty washes over society. But why? She was always laughing and joking! She was so lucky – why did she do that? She had such a good husband! And those poor kids – how could she abandon them like that? How could she be so self-centered? There’s so much help out there – why didn’t she get it if she needed it? Endless questions. The truth is, most probably she did ask for help. Most probably she even begged for it. Yet no one’s eyes were open enough to see the silent tearsRead More…
