On 18 November 18 2024, the Junior College Diversity Committee hosted an information session titled Defending Your Rights. This event, led by two representatives from the Malta Medical Students Association (MMSA), delved into the critical issues of domestic violence and human trafficking—two pressing societal challenges that continue to affect individuals globally and locally.
The session aimed to raise awareness, educate attendees, and foster a supportive environment for discussions about these often-taboo topics. The MMSA students provided insights into recognising signs of abuse, understanding the far-reaching effects of these crimes, and most importantly, knowing what steps to take to seek help or assist others in need. Their presentations underscored the importance of empowering individuals to defend their rights and the rights of others in their community.
