The , in conjunction with the Deputy Dean of the Faculty, Dr Claire Azzopardi Lane, is embarking on a campaign to increase the visibility of Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Trans, Intersex and Queer (LGBTIQ) people at the University of Malta.
Whilst, of course, we have always had members of the LGBTIQ community among both students and staff at the UM, and in the Faculty, they have not always been visible, at times due to the fear of being the target of homophobic and transphobic discrimination and bullying. It is time to make sure that the UM is a safe space for all members of the LGBT community and beyond!
To this end, we are having posters put up in strategic places across the University campuses and within specific entities, to encourage LGBTIQ students and staff to feel safe and comfortable to be themselves, without having to hide any part of their identity.
