Too often, women are insulted, beaten, raped, forced to prostitute themselves.... If we want a better world, that will be a peaceful home and not a battlefield, we all need to do a lot more for the dignity of each woman.

New issue of @MurmurationsJ! "The writers in this issue and across the Pandemic as Systemic Flux website speak in ways which require new listening - a wide openness - which suspends taught theory and received expectations from dominant cultural values." murmurations.cloud/ojs/index…

I spent my childhood swimming in Slugs Bay, my teenage years camping and hiking in L-Aħrax tal-Mellieħa. It remains the one place I run away to when my brain is in overdrive. It has now been given to an armed lobby group. Stolen from us. From our future generations.

I lost my Dad this morning to COVID-19. He was my rock, my best friend, and my hero. He had virtually no symptoms and 48 hours later he was fighting for his life. I’m begging you guys from the bottom of my heart, please stay inside and be safe.

Excited to present #RainbowEurope at #IDAHOT2018 in Lisbon in a moment. European governments need to act now! teapawt.net/EvelyneParadis/status/…
#RainbowEurope: Great achievements of past decade are at stake! Let’s not make the mistake of thinking that we have achieved equality. There are too many signs around us that many of the recent wins are fragile. Bold political action needed more than ever in Europe!@ILGAEurope

Insightful, witty, dramatic & personal. Really enjoyed attending launch of abridged history of #LGBTIQ movement in #Malta🇲🇹 by @Xmuntun. We made great strides forward but progress does not happen on its own. #IVF legislation change next in line to promote #equality -JM

"Because I didn’t give the gold star transgender answers of liking blue and playing with trucks as a kid, she questioned whether I really wanted to be a man." For #WorldHealthDay 2018, trans people told us why depathologisation matters to them. #IneedDepathBecause #HealthForAll
