#Malta: I urge parliamentarians to pause the examination of Bill 28 in its current amended form and engage in more consultations to avoid steps backwards and ensure effective access to abortion care.

ON THE PRIME MINISTER'S (@RobertAbela_MT) 'DISCOMFORT'
In comments at the State of The Nation conference this week, Prime Minister Robert Abela said he was not comfortable with the court's conviction of a woman charged with abortion. (1/10)
During the past years #Malta 🇲🇹 has always been at the forefront of #LGBTIQ 🏳️🌈 rights and civil liberties as a whole, we shall continue to do champion these rights. We condemn the new laws in #Uganda which threaten these rights, which threat includes the death penalty. We look forward to host #EuroPride2023 in the coming months to further promote equality.
📢 Voice for Choice Press Release: This should have never happened! 📢
Yesterday, a Maltese woman was brought to court after facing criminal charges that she self-managed a medical abortion at home.
We call on the state to decriminalise abortion - NOW!

@ILGAEurope@LjubljanaPride@TransNetNL Worth clarifying is that since this podcast was recorded, Malta’s Court overturned a hate speech acquittal, and the priest who is mentioned in the podcast has been found guilty of breaking hate speech criminal laws, and sentenced to suspended 6 months imprisonment.

Robert who leads out our outreach efforts in the community talks about Malta’s position at the too of the #RainbowEurope Map by @ILGAEurope, and how that compares to life as a #LGBTIQ person living in #Malta

Graziella Attard Previ's Parliament intervention reminds us of the existing vacuum in HIV prevention. Health authorities claim PEP is free, but it isn't for cases not involving sexual assault or needle stick injuries. (1/2) https://t.co/kO2htKkPf4 #HIVprevention#PEP
PEP is expensive and may not be accessible when needed. Sexual assault victims need more than 72 hours to process the assault, making PEP ineffective when taken after 72 hours. Inaccurate messaging is detrimental to people's health. (2/2) #health#hiv#pep#prep
If you are on the #TRANSreadathon consider reading Katya - Easy on the Tonic. The book was written by Ramona Depares and is about a trans model born in the 1960s. https://t.co/crgY308yEh

Welcome @mgrm_malta

Well done to all activists at MGRM, @CheckpointMalta together with experts such as @rapa_mark, @tristanjbarber and the community for participating in this dialogue towards safe, healthy and importantly living a fulfilling life with a good standard of living for everyone.
Excellent news! Maltese health authorities also recognised that #UequalsU!
This is an important step for those living with #HIV because this means that a person who is undetectable should be able to access services, including healthcare services without undue difficulties.
The next available appointment at the GU Clinic is in May 2023, six months from now. @chrisfearne we cannot allow this to become normal, because it is not. Waiting six months for what in other countries is a routine walk-in service is not right.
