📰 New on Times of Malta:“A Humanist Take on the Demographic Issue”by Christian Colombo (Vice-Chair, Humanists Malta) and Joanna Williams (Committee Member, Humanists Malta)We often talk about numbers — birth rates, migration, population growth. But behind every statistic are people, choices, and the kind of Malta we are building together.A humanist perspective reminds us:Choosing not to have children isn’t selfish; it’s a personal, moral decision.Growth shouldn’t be about headcounts, but about the quality of life we create for everyone.True belonging is built through integration, fairness, and dignity, not bloodlines.It’s time to reframe the conversation — from fear and figures to values and vision.👉 Read the full article on Times of Malta#HumanistsMalta #Humanism #ValuesMatter #QualityOfLife #Integration #Malta ...
