		<description><![CDATA[It is extremely rare that someone is prosecuted for human trafficking in Maltese courts, and yet Malta is recognised as a destination in the international network profiting from modern day slavery, largely affecting women and girls. Is the failure to identify these networks in Malta a result of a lack of capacity, complacency or corruption?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[We cannot address gender inequality without examining the culture, belief systems and often-outdated religious traditions that breed it and legitimatise it. Women’s Day is a reminder of that obligation. That’s why events such as those in aid of the President’s charity are so frustrating – they serve to sustain stereotypes that remain an obstacle to equality.  ]]></description>

But the measures introduced in the so-called ‘family budget’ need context and evaluation.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Public trust is the rating that should matter most to PBS as a public organisation that uses public funds. Audience following is not necessarily a measure of PBS' success considering the lack of choice of alternatives in the context within which it operates. PBS can claim to be serving its remit when people stop thinking it is nothing more than a puppet.]]></description>
