On Tuesday 20th June is World Refugee Day 2023. This year, as part of Refugee Week Malta, we will once again be Marching for Peace, a silent march calling for Peace, and acknowledging all the people who have left their home due to Conflict.
This event forms part of the larger Refugee Week Malta, that will be celebrated globally from the 18th till 25th June 2023. This year’s festival is centred around the theme of Compassion.
In line with this year’s theme, Refugee Week Malta wants to show solidarity with the LGBTIQ refugees seeking safety in Malta. Malta is considered to be a country with some of the best LGBTIQ+ laws in the EU. However, there are still no clear policies in protecting LGBTIQ+ Refugees and Asylum seekers.
Malta considers Algeria, Bangladesh, Benin, Botswana, Chile, Egypt, Ghana, Jamaica, Morocco, Senegal and Tunisia as ‘safe’ countries where LGBTIQ+ persons face criminal punishment from up to 3 years imprisonment to life sentence, simply for living their identities. Malta’s current policy, as it currently is, ignores the danger of institutionalised discrimination, imprisonment and forced labour. As such, with the policy as it is, Malta
endorses state persecution of LGBTIQ refugees.
We wish to make more people aware of these current policies and to challenge them together, so that we truly represent a country with the best LGBTIQ+ laws in the EU.
On Tuesday 20th June, we will be meeting at 6pm at Pjazza San Gorg, Valletta, to start our walk towards Parliament. The march will end in Freedom Square, in front of Parliament, and we will hear from speakers from the Refugee Community, talking about Peace and Compassion together with the need to acknowledge the ‘Unsafe’ countries of people from the LGBTQI community.
