💙 Thank you so much for visiting us, David! We’re looking forward to the next #Festalingwi!
🗣 We discussed how teaching, technology, and translation are essential in transforming language into an open door rather than a barrier to inclusion. By addressing the challenges migrants face and celebrating our linguistic roots, we can ensure everyone thriving in a modern, multilingual society.
🤩 Yesterday we welcomed David Schembri, Field Officer from the Directorate General for Translation at the @ec.europa.eu Representation in Malta, and organiser of #Festalingwi.

⚖️ So, dear policy makers: we aren't looking for chocolates and a spa afternoon; we’re looking for radical, permanent social change that ensures equity for every girl and every woman, everywhere. Every. Single. Day.
✊🏼✊🏽✊🏾 We are very aware that we stand today on the shoulders of suffragettes, labour activists and feminists, who risked their lives to secure our rights. And now it’s up to us to secure the future.
💐🥂🚫 Flowers & prosecco camouflaged as vague notions of equality for #IWD don't guarantee equal pay, protect reproductive rights or end systemic violence against women.
ℹ BDE doesn't support women once a year: we are built, led, & fuelled by them every single day.

💪🏾Participating in these high-level discussions ensures that BDE remains at the forefront of international best practices, and we are excited to integrate these insights into our strategic operations here in Malta. 🇲🇹
👉🏾 Key takeaways included:
Systemic Approaches: Strengthening the link between national initiatives and local action.
Global Solidarity: Developing frameworks for cooperation during international crises.
Active Citizenship: Enhancing the role of community-led organisations in security.
ℹ Representing BDE at the invitation of aditus foundation, Martha joined experts and policy-makers to explore how NGOs and national institutions can collaborate to bolster local and global resilience.
This week our Ops Manager Martha joined the workshop "Code of Resilience: from Local Security to International Solidarity" at the Latvian War Museum in Riga as part of the EU For Global project.

ℹ It was a wonderful opportunity to share our work, discuss the challenges facing our communities, and explore how we can strengthen our collaboration to better support our service users, many of whom were forced to flee and have found refuge in Malta.
🤩 Last week we welcomed Emilie Wiinblad Mathez, Head of UNHCR Malta and Liaison @euasylumagency.bsky.social.
💙 We value the time Emilie took and we look forward to our continued partnership!

💙 This tribute to civilians, who made the conscious choice to go to war, leaving their everyday lives to defend freedom as servicemen and women, was deeply saddening. Together with all Ukrainians, we mourn for those who have died since Russia's invasion in 2022.
📸 Yesterday we attended the Foundation for the Ukrainian Community in Malta one-day exhibition "The Price of Freedom: Stories and Photographs of Ukrainians at War" in Valletta.

ℹ Fun fact: Dates provide instant energy, essential nutrients, promote digestive health and contain anti-inflammatory compounds, and water rehydrates with essential minerals.
💙 By providing our Muslim students with dates and water at iftar, we understand and embrace the diversity of each others cultures and rituals, for a mindful, tolerant and peaceful co-existence.
🕌 Dates & water are spiritually symbolic for our Muslim students, signifying the end of the day's fasting, and the beginning of iftar, the fast-breaking evening meal during Ramadan.

💙 14.02 is Valentine's Day. Originally a Christian feast day for a martyr named Valentine, it has become a celebration love all over the world.
🙁 But not for everyone.

It’s more than evident that the time to prioritise human dignity in migration management is now.
Our intern Krysia joined the launch of detention.mt, a project by aditus foundation supported by @proasyl.de, for a detailed look into the current state of immigration detention in Malta.
#HumanRights #Malta #MigrationReform #aditus #DetentionMT #ThereAreAlternatives #LegalAdvocacy #HumanitarianAid
🧐 This event gave a sobering look into Malta’s current detention regime, moving from a critical analysis of the status quo to a necessary conversation on more humane alternatives. Not just policy changes are needed, but a fundamental commitment to upholding human rights and dignity for all.
Today we joined @aditusfoundation for the launch of Detention.mt, (supported by @proasyl.de).
Speakers from @jrsmalta, @theecre, and @richmondfmalta gave insights, pushing this theme into the public eye.
