P O S I T I O N P A P E R on the National Commission for Human Rights and Equality Bill (Bill No. 3 of 2026)

PRESS RELEASE

Malta Women’s Lobby calls for proper consultation on Equality and Human Rights Bill.

The Malta Women’s Lobby (MWL) is submitting its position paper on the proposed National Commission for Human Rights and Equality Bill (Bill No. 3 of 2026).

While supporting the establishment of a national human rights institution, MWL is deeply concerned about the lack of meaningful consultation with women’s organisations and the rushed manner in which this far-reaching reform is being pursued. Legislation that will fundamentally reshape Malta’s equality and human-rights framework requires adequate time for public scrutiny and genuine engagement with civil society.

MWL’s central concern is the proposed dissolution of the National Commission for the Promotion of Equality and the absorption of its functions into a much broader human-rights institution. Equality between women and men, must not be reduced to merely one protected characteristic among many.

Equality between women and men is both a distinct legal mandate and a horizontal constitutional, EU and treaty commitment, engaging CEDAW, the Istanbul Convention, the EU Treaties, the gender-equality directives and Directive (EU) 2023/970 on pay transparency. Furthermore, Directives (EU) 2024/1499 and 2024/1500 require equality bodies to have the independence and resources necessary to perform all their tasks effectively.

While the MWL supports a stronger human-rights framework, this consolidation looks more like a demotion and dilution of women’s rights equality. For this reason, we are urging the government to pause, consult properly and introduce clear legal guarantees safeguarding the gender-equality between women and men mandate before the Bill proceeds.

The full MWL position paper sets out detailed concerns and proposed amendments.
