AURORA- Awakening Understanding Reclaiming our Resilience and Autonomy Mr Kris Vella Grima and Shakira Fenech discuss the importance of social worker support as a strength rather than a weakness, while challenging systemic barriers that affect victims and children within Malta's welfare context. AURORA is a 12-episode podcast series led by the St Jeanne Antide Foundation’s services SOAR and IVY – Interrupting Violence Towards Youth, and funded through the Together We Empower programme. The AURORA project brought together survivors, professionals, policymakers, and academics in a powerful multi-sectoral collaboration. Through open dialogue and shared expertise, AURORA sought to strengthen Malta’s capacity to implement the holistic framework of the Istanbul Convention. Each episode explores critical themes such as staying safe in relationships, transforming the domestic violence narrative, and preventing gender-based violence. ​More than a conversation, AURORA is a movement for change, resilience, and empowerment — amplifying voices, fostering understanding, and inspiring collective action toward a society free from violence. Project funded by the Commission on Gender-Based Violence & Domestic Violence & the Parliamentary Secretary for Reforms & Equality through the Together We Empower programme.
