…and the day after that, and the one after that.![]()

Because humanism is not just something we celebrate once a year — it is something we practise every day.![]()
![]()
It lives in the moments when we choose compassion over indifference, curiosity over certainty, cooperation over division, and reason over fear.![]()
![]()
As Corliss Lamont reminds us, humanism is rooted in this natural world: in joyous service to the greater good of all humanity, guided by reason, science, and democracy.![]()
![]()
Humanism places human dignity, freedom of thought, compassion, and responsibility at its centre. It reminds us that meaning is not simply found — it is created through our choices, our relationships, and our commitment to one another. ❤️![]()

World Humanist Day may have passed, but the work of building a kinder, fairer, and more thoughtful world continues every day.![]()

📖🧠 Humanism is an invitation to think freely — and to take responsibility for what we discover.![]()
![]()
It encourages curiosity over certainty, dialogue over dogma, and cooperation over division. 🤝🌍 To think for ourselves, to question honestly, and to act with others in mind is not just an intellectual exercise — it’s a commitment to human happiness and shared flourishing. 🌱✨![]()

On World Humanist Day, we celebrate a tradition that trusts people to reason, to care, and to build meaning together — in this world, with one another. ❤️![]()

Your wishes. Your values. Your voice.![]()

Following the introduction of Malta’s new legislation on Advance Directives, commonly known as Living Wills, we have updated our website with a dedicated explainer to help people better understand what Living Wills are — and why they matter.![]()
![]()
Living Wills give people the opportunity to record their legally binding healthcare wishes in advance, helping ensure that their choices, values, and preferences are known and respected if a time comes when they can no longer communicate them.![]()
![]()
Our updated guide answers key questions, including:![]()
![]()
✓ What is a Living Will?![]()
✓ What decisions can it cover?![]()
✓ What does it not cover?![]()
✓ Who can make one?![]()
✓ How can you prepare your own?![]()
![]()
At Humanists Malta, we believe that dignity, compassion, and personal autonomy should remain at the heart of decisions about our own lives and healthcare.![]()

Living Wills in Malta are covered by the Advance Medical Directives Act since April 2026. Humanists Malta provides input and guidance.
🏳️🌈 Pride is not just a celebration of diversity and equality. It is also a reminder of the long struggle for human rights, and of the work that still remains.![]()

This year, a familiar question has resurfaced: do we still need Pride?![]()
![]()
The better question is: have we finished the work?![]()
![]()
Malta has made significant progress on LGBTQI+ rights, and that progress deserves recognition. But equality is not something that is achieved once and for all. It requires constant attention, protection, and effort.![]()
![]()
Discrimination, prejudice, barriers to inclusion, and unequal treatment have not disappeared. Many people still face challenges in accessing support, recognition, safety, and the freedom to live openly as themselves.![]()
![]()
Pride is not about declaring victory, nor about telling people who they should be. It is about recognising progress while continuing to push for a society where everyone, whoever they love or however they identify, can live openly, safely, and with dignity.![]()
![]()
Human rights are not a destination. They are an ongoing commitment.![]()
![]()
This Pride Month, we celebrate how far we have come, and reaffirm our commitment to a Malta where everyone can live with dignity, freedom, and equal respect.![]()

🌈 Happy Pride Month from Humanists Malta.![]()
