Philosophy student Ana Tortell shares her past personal quest for happiness with the hopes of bringing clarity to anyone who can relate… I was going through some old pieces that I had written to myself as attempts to find some clarity, and I wound up coming across this. It was written over a year ago while I was going through a very confusing period regarding my future. Reading it now makes me notice a certain timeless relevance, so I decided to share it with you all – in the hopes that someone can relate and find clarity in it themselves. I’m currently speaking to anRead More…

Some women have claimed that they’ve experienced unusual, shorter or longer, lighter or heavier periods following vaccination. Whilst experts seem to be contradicting such reports, Wham.com.mt asked the question directly to Maltese women. Before listening to real women’s experiences, let us evaluate the current scientific evidence available on the subject. Scientific Evidence on Menstrual Changes following COVID-19 Vaccination Unfortunately, although I’ve searched thoroughly for evidence based information on the subject, there doesn’t seem to be much out yet, most probablyRead More…

The word ‘period’ can be easily associated with negative aspects such as cramps, mood swings, bloating and uneasiness, especially where irregularity is concerned. This, coupled with the diversity of products available to choose from, may create unnecessary tension. I must admit that as a writer, when I was asked to review Ellen Probiotic Tampons I felt quite taken aback. See, as a woman I’ve had my share of unsatisfactory menstrual hygiene product tries in the past (I admit I am quite fussy!), and had finally settled on using menstrual cups. However, as a mature student nurse, the word ‘Probiotic’ caught my eye, and I feltRead More…

A Girl Woman Walks Home Alone at Night. Before another woman’s basic human right is taken away, we need to talk to our boys and men. After writing and directing my screenplay Daughter back in 2015, (the storyline inspired by two real-life murder cases of women in Melbourne), I was doing so with the motivation that Daughter would be a film that changes people’s perspectives towards how women are viewed in society. The film was a success, I had achieved what I initially set out to do — educate and talk about violence against women and victim-blaming, as well as media perceptions about women. WhatRead More…
