As a mature nursing student I recently had the privilege of attending a lecture delivered by Dr. Corinne Ward. I remember listening to her talk attentively and being in awe of the strength, determination and courage that this woman had and the changes that she brought forward within the Nursing Profession in Malta throughout the years. I remember feeling the need to follow in her footsteps so I can also one day bring about some of the much needed changes within our society, with the aim of making this world a better place. Today I am proud to present to you Dr Corinne Ward, whoRead More…

I receive many anonymous requests from members of Women for Women with regards to various cosmetic surgery procedures. Many women seem shy to ask directly about cosmetic surgery and it is still quite something not openly discussed amongst women. I therefore decided it would be a great idea if I asked all the questions that we women would usually want to know. I have heard a lot of positive recommendations about Persona so I thought this would be a great place to start from and to see what they have to offer. With Covid-19 confining us indoors and with winter around the corner and numbersRead More…

The Young Progressive Beings, young, bold and brave young women, have one main aim…to defend the rights of women in Malta… As a woman I am ashamed to say that I became interested in women’s struggles and feminism late in life. I always had a strong sense of justice and what is right from wrong but the real passion and love for women’s issues and rights for women was really ignited in me when I met Dr. Lara Dimitrijevic founder of Women’s Rights Foundation. Her work as a pro-bono lawyer with victims of domestic violence and victims of human trafficking really inspired me and helpedRead More…

Rachel Sammut wanted flexibility and quality of life by being self-employed, so she set up her own online business BumpAndMe … Over the years I’ve spoken and exchanged ideas and opinions with Rachel many times, however, all virtually always on messenger. It was lovely to finally meet up with her and to get to know her in person. Rachel is a soft-spoken lawyer by profession but also an inspirational businesswoman and a busy, but very organised mummy to her gorgeous children Leila and Hugh. After spending a few years working in London where her work experience there was very different from working here in Malta,Read More…

Wham met up with female swimmer Nikki Muscat: a young woman who is passionate about swimming. Despite setbacks she encountered as a female swimmer in the past, she has become an inspirational resilient strong woman who is determined to reach her life goals.

Wham recently met up with magical artist Selina Scerri, after seeing her artwork whilst interviewing one of our other inspirational women….We just had to learn more about the magical artist behind these intriguing large format “magical” paintings. Francesca: Tell us a bit about yourself. I have always compared myself to Peter Pan. Not in the way of a person that never grows up, but as a child who never grows up. The only way for me to survive in this world was to always believe in magic and paint. I have been a professional painter since 2007 and have had different studios around Europe includingRead More…

Female role models are women who are admired, aspired and held in high esteem by other individuals because of their ability to show passion and inspiration, with a potential to exhibit a clear set of values and their commitment to the community. Female role models are capable to accept others and overcome obstacles, while also communicating a sense of selflessness.  They can either be someone that the individual knows and interacts with on a daily basis or someone that the individual never really meets, like a celebrity. Through this article I would like to share with you all who my own female role models are,Read More…

Women in Malta have no right over their bodies. The courts of Malta stopped a woman from traveling as ex claimed she wanted an abortion… The premise that we women in Malta have no right over our own bodies has become even more evident after the courts of Malta, as reported this morning on Women’s Rights Foundation Facebook page, stopped a woman from traveling because her boyfriend claimed she was going to travel to have an abortion – it is not even true. That the courts even considered this notion and removed her right to freedom of movement on the grounds of another person’s claimsRead More…

PhD student Hourie has managed to defeat all odds, coming from a Palestinian refugee camp in Southern Lebanon, to pursuing a PhD in the USA… As young women, we have to understand that we should be the captains of our lives; we cannot please everyone, not even our parents. Don’t worry about starting the road alone, as long as you know you are on the right one, and others will eventually follow. Hourie I first met Hourie in Malta around 4 years ago whilst we were both volunteering with the Migrant Woman Association. Hourie impressed me with her calm, gentle, intelligent ways of communicating andRead More…
