Is parliament's gender corrective mechanism a good thing for women?
Il-KAŻIN x Times of Malta debate on Wednesday to focus on controversial provision
Deborah Schembri and Nickie Vella de Fremeaux will go head-to-head on Wednesday in a live debate about Malta’s gender corrective mechanism.
The Il-KAŻIN x Times of Malta debate will ask whether the mechanism is democratic and whether it is disrespectful to women.
Both debaters will be arguing a motion presented by Schembri: 'The gender corrective mechanism remains necessary in Malta' [Il-mekkanizmu tal-ġeneru kien u għadu bżonjuż f’Malta].
The debate, moderated by Times of Malta assistant editor Mark Laurence Zammit, will start at 8.30pm on Wednesday, June 24, and will be held in front of a live audience.
It will also be streamed live on the Times of Malta and Il-KAŻIN YouTube channels.
The exchange is intended to test the speakers’ positions under direct scrutiny, with viewers able to follow the debate live and take part through real-time voting as the discussion unfolds.
A limited number of seats are available for people who wish to attend the debate in person. Anyone interested in being part of the audience can register here. Some seats have been reserved for Times of Malta subscribers.
Il-KAŻIN x Times of Malta is a live monthly debate centred on Malta’s most urgent national issues, where audiences are invited to participate and shape the direction of the conversation in real time.
